The coat of arms of the Netherlands Antilles consisted of a shield, a crown and the motto. The shield itself showed five blue stars on a golden background, within a red border. These five stars stood for the five islands of the Netherlands Antilles and also were represented in the flag. The crown atop the shield was that of the Dutch sovereign. Under the shield was a ribbon with the motto: Libertate Unanimus (" United in Freedom").

The present coat of arms was adopted on January 1, 1986, the day that Aruba separated from the Netherlands Antilles and acquired a status aparte within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The ultimate coat of arms replaced the previous version, which had been in use since October 23, 1964. That version of the arms contained six stars: again one for each island including Aruba.

The Netherlands Antilles were dissolved on 10 October, 2010.
