Banknotes of Demerara and Essequibo, issued from 1809[1] through 1839[2] were dual-denominated in Guilders and Joes, a term used by the British colonists to refer to the Portuguese gold Johannes coin[3] and the notes that eventually replaced them.[4] Despite roughly 30 years of use, the only Joes known to exist are unissued remainders from the 1830s.[5]
