| Additional information |
Belize gained independence from Britain in 1981, but this coin predates that by five years — issued when the territory was still British Honduras in all but name, having only adopted the Belize identity in 1973. The .500 fine gold specification is notably low for a commemorative of this denomination, a deliberate cost-containment decision that kept the bullion value accessible while still qualifying the piece for gold coinage status.
