500 Dollars

The 1992 issue falls within a period when Guyana was crawling out of one of the worst debt crises in the Western Hemisphere — by the late 1980s, the country owed more than three times its GDP in external debt, and the currency had been so debased through the 1970s and 1980s that a 500-dollar note, once unthinkable in denomination, had become routine pocket change. Thomas De La Rue produced the series with a single security layer, a watermark alone, which was modest even by early 1990s regional standards.

The Pick 29 series ran for several years with minimal modification to the design plates.
