P#CS1 is a commemorative souvenir note, not a circulating issue — the "CS" prefix in the Pick numbering system distinguishes it from Belize's regular series. The gold foil bonding is a production technique associated with novelty and collector-targeted printings of the early 1980s, when several Caribbean and Central American nations experimented with non-standard substrates for prestige issues rather than everyday currency.
The Chachalaca designation refers to the plain chachalaca, Belize's national bird. Whether this note was ever legal tender is a point of dispute among collectors; most evidence suggests it was issued purely for the souvenir trade.
