The front of all these notes features the banks logo at center and Kaieteur Falls at right.
The banks logo depicts the rice, timber, shipbuilding, and minerals industries of Guyana.
Kaieteur Falls is on the Potaro River in Kaieteur National Park in central Guyana.
The falls are named after Chief Kai, one of the distinguished chieftains (known also as Toshaos) of the once powerful Patamona tribe.
He committed self-sacrifice by canoeing over the falls in order that Makonaima, the Great Spirit, would be appeased and to save his tribe from being destroyed by a raiding party of savage Caribs. “Teur” translates as “falls” hence the name Kaieteur.
