| Descripción del anverso | The obverse is printed in reddish-brown on white paper and carries a letterpress design with elaborate guilloche scrollwork along the left border. The denomination is stated in two parallel expressions — TEN JOES and 220 GUILDERS — within a bold rectangular panel at centre, flanked by ornamental rosettes at the upper corners. The issuing authority text reads "In the name of the Court of Policy combined with the Financial Representatives of the aforesaid Colonies", with the colony names DEMERARY and ESSEQUEBO rendered in large decorative script across the centre field, and the title "Colonial Receiver" appearing in a cartouche at the foot. |

The Court of Policy — a legislative body inherited from Dutch colonial administration and retained under British rule after 1803 — retained the authority to issue paper currency in Demerary and Essequebo well into the nineteenth century, an unusual arrangement that persisted because London had not yet imposed a unified monetary framework on its Guiana territories. The denomination itself reflects the monetary confusion of the period: the "Joe," a corruption of "Johannes," was a Portuguese gold coin widely used as a unit of account across the Caribbean and South American littoral long after actual Johanneses had ceased to circulate.
The fixed equivalence of 22 guilders to one Joe printed on this note anchors it firmly in the Dutch accounting tradition that continued in daily commerce decades after the British flag went up.
