| Additional information |
Belize issued several collector-oriented silver pieces in the early 2010s tied to Maya archaeological themes, capitalizing on renewed international attention surrounding the 2012 date in the Maya Long Count calendar — the much-publicized "end" of the 13th b'ak'tun cycle. The timing was deliberate.
KM#138 belongs to a series commissioned through foreign minting arrangements, as the Central Bank of Belize has no domestic striking facility and contracts production abroad.
