| Opmerkingen |
The "Joe" — short for Johannes, a Portuguese gold coin — was used as a unit of account in these Dutch Guiana colonies long after actual Johannescoins had effectively left circulation. Quoting a denomination in both guilders and fractional Joes was not an affectation; it reflected the genuinely hybrid monetary reality of Demerara and Essequibo under early British administration, where Dutch accounting conventions persisted well into the 1830s despite British political control following the 1814 cession.
The Court of Policy was a colonial legislative body, not a bank — its role as note issuer speaks to the absence of any chartered banking institution capable of handling currency at that date. The British Guiana Bank would not receive its charter until 1836.
