About this banknote
The Bank of Guyana issued this 5-dollar banknote in 1966, coinciding with the country's independence from British colonial rule in May of that year. This series was introduced as part of efforts to establish a national currency distinct from the East Caribbean dollar previously used.
The front of this banknote features a depiction of Kaieteur Falls and the country's coat of arms. On the back, it illustrates a scene of cane sugar cutting and a conveyor system. Printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company Limited, the note is signed by Horst Bockelmann, the Governor, and Peter Stanislaus D'Aguiar, the Minister of Finance.
