| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field depicts a standing full-length statue of a Demerara revolt leader, positioned slightly right of center upon a plinth, holding a sword at his side with his gaze directed forward. To the right of the figure stands a sheaf of sugar cane, referencing the plantation context of the 1823 uprising. To the left of the statue, the denomination 200 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines in the lower field, with the commemorative inscription 200th Anniversary / 1823-2023 appearing above it in smaller lettering. The arcing legend DEMERARA REVOLT runs along the upper rim in bold raised letters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1823 Demerara Revolt — then a British colony — was one of the largest slave uprisings in the Caribbean, involving an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 enslaved people across more than 60 plantations along the East Coast Demerara. Its suppression was swift and brutal: the colonial militia killed over 200 rebels, and its leader, Quamina, was hunted down and executed. The revolt's reverberations reached London, where the subsequent trial and death of missionary John Smith galvanized the British abolitionist movement in ways the uprising's planners could not have anticipated.
The 2023 commemorative marks the revolt's bicentennial.
