 Demerara and Essequibo were two river colonies in the Guianas along the Northern coast of South America which is now part of the country of Guyana. It was a Dutch colony (known as Demerary) until 1815 and a county of British Guiana from 1838 to 1966 (known as Demerara). The Colony of Demerara-Essequibo was created on 28 April 1812, when the British combined the Dutch colony of Demerary with Essequibo into the larger colony of Demerara-Essequibo. They were officially ceded to Britain on 13 August 1814. On 20 November 1815 the agreement was ratified by the Netherlands. On 21 July 1831 Demerara-Esequibo united with Berbice as British Guiana. The colony continued to use Dutch denominations of currency even though under British control. The issued coins ranging from 3 bits up to 3 Guilder. These coins were minted with the colonies name on it and were minted from 1809 to 1835. The dollar was introduced in 1839.
