1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Great blue heron

P#CS1 is a collector souvenir item, not a circulating banknote — the "CS" prefix in the Pick numbering makes that explicit. Issued by the Central Bank of Belize in 1984, it was produced on a hybrid substrate bonding paper with gold foil, a material with no practical role in circulation and chosen entirely for presentation value. Belize was barely a decade old as an independent nation at the time of issue, having gained independence from Britain in 1981, and the Central Bank itself had only been established that same year.

The gold foil bonding makes these susceptible to delamination along the edges — a known condition issue with this specific substrate type.
