| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Guyana occupies the central field, featuring two jaguars as supporters flanking a shield charged with a canje pheasant in base and wavy lines above, surmounted by an Amerindian headdress. A scroll below bears the national motto in three parts: ONE PEOPLE, ONE NATION, ONE DESTINY. The legend BANK OF GUYANA arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2015 appears in the exergue. |

| Reverse description | An allegorical composition celebrating the Bank of Guyana's 50th anniversary fills the field with multiple symbols of economic development: a rising bar chart at left, a cityscape silhouette at center-left, interlocking gear wheels at right, and a starburst motif at center. A small rendition of the Bank of Guyana shield appears at the upper center. Two scrolling banners across the lower field bear the founding and anniversary years 1965 and 2015, with a central ribbon inscribed 50th Anniversary. The circular legend PROMOTING FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR GUYANA'S PROSPERITY runs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 5000 Dollars is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Guyana's gold-plated silver commemorative program has produced relatively few issues, and this 5000-dollar denomination sits at the upper end of the country's modern numismatic output. The Bank of Guyana rarely commissions precious-metal strikes, making each release a relatively isolated event rather than part of a sustained collector series.
Gold-plated .999 silver at this weight and diameter was a common format for Commonwealth-adjacent issuers in the mid-2010s, often produced by third-party mints in Canada or Europe under contract.
