10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Orchid, Galeandra

P#CS1 is a souvenir card rather than a circulating note — issued by the Central Bank of Belize as a collector item, not for use as currency. The gold foil bonding is the point of the exercise: this was a deliberate prestige production, almost certainly tied to a numismatic event or promotional initiative, though Belize issued several such pieces in the early 1980s as the newly independent nation (independence came in 1981) was actively cultivating an international collector market.

The hybrid substrate makes standard grading criteria largely irrelevant; deterioration typically shows first at the foil-paper bond edges rather than through normal paper wear.
