| Additional information |
Belize gained full independence from Britain in September 1981, and the first coins issued under the new Central Bank — replacing the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority — appeared in 1982. This series was among the earliest expressions of monetary autonomy for a country that had only just shed colonial administration after decades of dispute with Guatemala, which refused to recognize Belizean sovereignty until 1991.
The KM#86 type had a short production window, struck across just two years before the series evolved.
