Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Bauxite mining scene depicting two workers in a mining operation, representing Guyana's critical bauxite industry which became a cornerstone of the economy after independence in 1966. The alumina plant at right shows industrial processing facilities for bauxite refining, symbolizing the nation's industrial development and natural resource extraction sector. These dual vignettes emphasize Guyana's post-independence economic foundation built on mining and mineral processing.
Back: Kaieteur Falls on the Potaro River in central Guyana, one of the world's most powerful waterfalls with a single drop of 226 meters (741 feet), nearly five times the height of Niagara Falls. Located in Kaieteur National Park, the falls are named after Kai, a Patamona chief who according to legend sacrificed himself by canoeing over the falls to save his people. The waterfall represents Guyana's natural heritage and spectacular wilderness.

Background & history
Bank of Guyana first series, issued following independence from Britain in 1966 when the nation adopted its own currency to replace the British Guiana dollar at par. This series remained in circulation until 1989 when it was replaced by a new series. The denomination features themes of industrial development and natural resources that defined post-independence Guyana's economy, particularly the nationalization of the bauxite industry in the 1970s. The notes were printed by Thomas De La Rue in the United Kingdom.
