Interesting fact
The ½ Guilder coin from Demerara and Essequibo (Guyana) made of Silver (.816) weighing 3.88 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King George III in 1809, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the colony. It's fascinating to think about the history and stories behind the coin, such as who might have used it to buy goods or services, or how it might have been passed down through generations. Additionally, the fact that it's made of silver adds an extra layer of intrigue, as silver was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
