20 Dollars - Elizabeth II Orchids and Scarlet macaw

P#CS1 is a commemorative souvenir item, not a circulating banknote — the "CS" prefix in the Pick numbering makes that explicit. Issued by the Central Bank of Belize in 1984, it was produced on an experimental hybrid substrate bonding paper with gold foil, a format with no precedent in Belizean currency proper and almost certainly never intended for use in trade.

Belize had only gained independence from Britain in 1981, making this an early institutional exercise in projecting national identity through a prestige format. The gold foil component makes these fragile over time — delamination at the edges is a known preservation problem with surviving examples.
