| 正面描述 | The obverse is laid out in an elegant copperplate style typical of early colonial issues. At upper left, a vertical ornamental guilloche border frames a small vignette of a figure beside a sailing vessel; to the upper right, a boxed denomination '£66' appears alongside the inscription 'On Colonial & Funded Security.' The body of the note carries elaborate script lettering declaring the note good within the Colonies of Demerary and Essequebo for three Joes of 22 Guilders each, with the place name 'Demerary' written below; at lower right, an italic panel reads 'In the Name of the Court of Policy of the aforesaid Colonies,' and the title 'Colonial Receiver' appears at lower left. |

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.
