| Additional information |
Guyana's first national coinage was issued in 1967, the year after independence from Britain, replacing the Eastern Caribbean dollar series that had circulated across the British West Indies as a colonial holdover. The Bank of Guyana took over issuance from the British Caribbean Currency Board, making these early strikes a direct artifact of the country's monetary break from London.
The series ran through a period of significant economic turbulence, including nationalization of the bauxite and sugar industries under Forbes Burnham's cooperative socialist government during the 1970s.
