| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Guyana occupies the central field, depicting a helmeted shield supported by two jaguars, with a Canje pheasant crest above and a scroll bearing the national motto 'ONE PEOPLE ONE NATION ONE DESTINY' at the base. The arms are rendered in fine relief and presented in full heraldic detail. The legend 'GUYANA' arcs along the upper periphery, and the date appears in the lower exergue area beneath the shield. |

| Additional information |
Guyana switched from the earlier cupro-nickel composition to nickel-plated steel for this denomination sometime in the mid-1990s, a cost-reduction measure common across Caribbean and South American issuers as nickel prices climbed. The Bank of Guyana has never published detailed annual mintage breakdowns for its circulation coinage, making date-specific population estimates unreliable.
