Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Guilder 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 system. The coin itself is a symbol of this transition, as it features an image of King William IV on one side and a sugar cane plant on the other, representing the island's main industry at the time.
