The British Guiana Bank was a short-lived institution — it collapsed in 1904, just two years after this note was issued, following a period of financial mismanagement that left depositors holding worthless paper. Notes from the final years of its operation, including this 1902 issue, were effectively rendered void when the bank failed before full redemption could be organized.
Surviving examples are scarce precisely because so few were returned through normal banking channels.
