10 Dollars - Elizabeth II

British Honduras maintained its dollar peg to the pound sterling until 1973 — the same year this series was retired — meaning these notes circulated through both the colonial twilight and the early independence debates that ultimately produced Belize in September of that year. The colony's small population and limited commercial banking infrastructure meant high-denomination notes like this ten-dollar piece saw comparatively light transactional use; most movement was through merchant accounts and government pay.

Bradbury Wilkinson printed from their New Malden works, a facility responsible for colonial currency across dozens of British territories during this period. Pick 31 spans a twenty-year range, so date gathering across the series remains an ongoing collector project — early dates command a meaningful premium over later issues.
