 Willemstad is the capital of Curaçao, but also the former capital of the Netherlands Antilles. The Spaniards already knew the island before 1500, but officially settled there in 1527. In 1634, a trading post on Sint Annabaai was conquered by the West India Company (WIC). Willemstad has been in Dutch hands for years, but also under English rule for a few years. Since 2010, Curaçao has been an independent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
  
 Since 1997, the historic districts of Punda, Otrobanda, Scharloo and Pietermaai have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Willemstad belongs to a small group of World Heritage cities that are considered monuments because of their universal cultural and historical value. The unique location of the districts around the water underlines why Willemstad stands out as a port city. In addition, Willemstad always profiles itself as a historically recognizable city. The Willemstad Fiver is already the tenth commemorative coin to be issued in the UNESCO World Heritage series. Since 2012, many special subjects have been reviewed.
