Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Guilder - William IV 1836 coin from British Guiana (Guyana) is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval 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 was minted using silver, which was a valuable resource that was often used to purchase the freedom of enslaved people.
