Aanvullende informatie

Demerara and Essequibo, then administered as a British possession following the 1803 capitulation of the Dutch colonies, lacked adequate circulating coinage almost immediately. This 1809 issue was authorized as a local emergency measure — Spanish colonial 8 reales were overstruck and countermarked to produce a workable currency for the plantation economy, with denominations expressed in the Dutch guilder system that colonists still reckoned by. The hybrid nature of the coin reflects a genuine administrative awkwardness: a British-governed territory striking Dutch-denominated coinage on Spanish planchets.

Mintage was extremely limited, and survivors in any condition are scarce. The Prid reference records only four specimens.
