100 Dollars Kinich Ahau

Belize gained independence from Britain in 1981, but this coin predates that by four years — issued when the territory was still British Honduras in all but name, having only adopted the name "Belize" in 1973 while remaining a dependent territory. The gold content here is notably low for a commemorative issue of this type; .500 fineness was an unusual choice, and the resulting alloy produces a distinctly pale, almost greenish color in hand.
