Belize issued a run of commemorative silver pieces throughout the 1980s tied largely to Caribbean and Central American historical themes, several produced in conjunction with the Pobjoy Mint. The Columbus quincentenary was still three years away in 1989, making this an early entry in what became a crowded field of Columbus-themed coinage ahead of 1992 — most issuing nations waited until the anniversary year itself.
