The P#55 series was introduced as Belize consolidated its post-independence banking infrastructure under the Central Bank, which had only been established in 1982 following separation from the East Caribbean Currency Authority. Thomas De La Rue had printed Belizean currency continuously through the transition from British Honduras, giving the notes an institutional continuity that outlasted the political one.
The watermark remains the sole listed security feature — modest by the standards of the period, at a time when other Caribbean issuers were adopting security threads.
