| Additional information |
Guyana switched from the earlier cupro-nickel composition to nickel-plated steel for this denomination sometime in the mid-1990s, a cost-reduction measure common across Caribbean and South American issuers as nickel prices climbed. The Bank of Guyana has never published detailed annual mintage breakdowns for its circulation coinage, making date-specific population estimates unreliable.
