| Obverse description | Central field displays the coat of arms of Guyana, featuring two jaguars as supporters flanking a quartered shield with a sailing ship and three wavy horizontal bars, surmounted by a rising sun above a helmet, with five stars arranged in an arc above. A ribbon scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto as a legend. The toponym ESEQUIBO is inscribed in large lettering below the arms, with the date 2020 in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Guyana's Essequibo region has been claimed by Venezuela since at least 1840, when British surveyors drew a boundary line Caracas never accepted. The dispute intensified after significant oil deposits were confirmed offshore in 2015, and Venezuela formally reclassified the territory as its own on official maps shortly after. This coin was issued against that unresolved backdrop — the regional name in the title is itself a political statement.
