| 正面描述 | Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, rendered in high relief with fine classical detailing. The king wears a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon at the nape, and a draped mantle fastened at the shoulder. The circular legend surrounds the effigy close to the toothed border. The portrait is engraved in the refined neoclassical style characteristic of Thomas Wyon the Younger. |

| 背面描述 | A large bold numeral '3' occupies the centre of the field, surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown rendered in fine detail. The central device is flanked by two symmetrical branches of oak, tied at the base with a ribbon bow, forming an open wreath. The date 1816 appears in the lower exergual area below the wreath. The circular legend naming the issuing colony runs along the periphery within a toothed border. |

Demerara and Essequibo — two adjacent Dutch colonies on the Guiana coast — had been seized by Britain in 1796, returned, and seized again in 1803, with formal cession only confirmed by the Congress of Vienna in 1814. This coin was struck just two years after that settlement, before the colonies were administratively merged into British Guiana in 1831. The chronic shortage of specie in the Caribbean made locally denominated silver an urgent practical necessity rather than a political gesture.
The guilder denomination persisted deliberately, reflecting the existing monetary habits of a Dutch-speaking planter class that Britain had no interest in alienating.
