The "Joe" — short for Johannes, the Portuguese gold coin — was used as a unit of account across parts of the Caribbean and South American coast long after the actual coin had largely disappeared from circulation. Demerary and Essequebo, then under British administration but still running Dutch-derived financial infrastructure, issued paper obligations denominated in this hybrid unit precisely because no consistent hard currency was available in sufficient quantity to meet plantation economy demands.
The Court of Policy was a legislative body, not a bank — its issuing paper obligations in the 1830s reflects just how ad hoc colonial monetary arrangements remained even decades into British rule.
