A Curaçao commemorative coin filled with meaning
Each commemorative coin from is more than a souvenir — it is a symbol of change. Each coin is made from plastic waste collected across Curaçao’s beaches, streets, and neighborhoods. That waste is then cleaned, sorted, and transformed by local hands into something beautiful and lasting.
Every coin you hold tells a story: of cleaner coastlines, empowered communities, and a future built on circular thinking. Crafted by Green Phenix, these coins are designed to remind us that no material — and no person — is ever without value.
Crafted with purpose by Green Phenix
This coin begins its journey as discarded plastic. But in the hands of our team — including participants from our inclusive Learn & Work program — it’s given a second life.
By purchasing a coin, you are helping us:
- Reduce plastic pollution across Curaçao
- Create meaningful job opportunities for people from all walks of life
- Support local efforts to protect nature and inspire circular living
It is more than a token. It is a step toward a better island — and a better world.
Celebrate Curaçao’s Wild Heart
Each coin design honors one of Curaçao’s beloved animal species.
These aren’t just beautiful creatures — they’re symbols of resilience, freedom, and connection to the island.
Iguana (Yuana)
A true symbol of island life, the iguana is resilient, adaptable, and deeply rooted in Curaçao’s culture. You’ll find it sunbathing on rocks – a reminder of nature’s quiet strength.
Goat
Goats have roamed Curaçao for centuries and shaped its landscapes. Hardy and independent, they reflect the spirit of the island – enduring, resourceful, and free.
Wara Wara
This rare bird of prey is one of Curaçao’s most iconic species. Majestic and watchful, the wara wara reminds us of the importance of protecting what’s wild and unique.
Flamingo
With their striking pink color and graceful presence, flamingos are Curaçao’s most elegant residents. They thrive in protected wetlands – where peace and balance are key.
Sea Turtle
Curaçao is both a nesting ground for sea turtle mothers and a safe haven for juveniles feeding in its seagrass beds. These ancient mariners return home across oceans – reminding us how vital it is to protect the full cycle of marine life.
