1 Dollar - Elizabeth II

Belize gained independence as British Honduras until 1973, when it was renamed — this note is among the earliest issues under the new country name, a transitional series that retained the Bradbury Wilkinson plates and design conventions familiar from the British Honduras period. The continuity was deliberate: the colonial printing relationship with BW&Co carried over intact, and the security thread and watermark specifications changed little from the predecessor issues.

Pick 33 is the short-lived precursor to the longer Dollar Currency Board series. Superseded relatively quickly as Belize moved toward the Central Bank Act of 1982.
