| 背面描述 | The Maya deity Itzamna, supreme creator god of the Maya pantheon, is depicted seated and facing left in a formal, hieratic pose rendered in a style closely derived from pre-Columbian Maya iconography. The figure is adorned with traditional regalia including an elaborate headdress, ornamental jewelry, and ceremonial garments. Encircling the central figure within a beaded border are thirty-two Maya glyphic symbols arranged in a continuous band, referencing the ancient Mesoamerican script of the issuing region's cultural heritage. |

Belize gained independence from Britain in 1981, but this coin predates that moment — issued while the country was still British Honduras in all but name, having only adopted the name Belize in 1973 under a new constitution. Itzamna, the supreme deity of the Maya pantheon, was a deliberate choice for a young nation asserting a pre-colonial identity distinct from its colonial administration.
The .500 fineness is notably low for a gold commemorative of this period, when most sovereign gold issues ran at .900 or better. It kept the face value credible without committing to a heavier fine gold content.
