Banknotes of Demerary and Essequibo were issued by the British colonies of
Demerara and
Essequibo from 1809 through 1839. They were dual-denominated in Guilders and Joes, a term used by the British colonists to refer to the
Portuguese gold Johannes coin and the notes that eventually replaced them. Despite roughly 30 years of use, the only Joe notes known to exist are unissued remainders from the 1830s; this one-Joe banknote forms part of the
National Numismatic Collection at the
Smithsonian Institution. Banknote design credit: Kingdom of Great Britain for British Guiana; photographed by Andrew Shiva
