Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Guilder - William IV 1836 coin from British Guiana (Guyana) is that it was minted during a time of great change and controversy in the region. The coin was issued in 1836, just a few years after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833. This period saw a significant shift in the economy and society of British Guiana, as the country transitioned from a slave-based economy to a free labor economy. The coin itself is a symbol of this transition, as it was minted using silver, which was a valuable resource that was often used to purchase the freedom of enslaved people. Additionally, the coin features an image of King William IV, who ruled during this time of change and was known for his support of the abolitionist movement.
