25 Dollars - Elizabeth II Poinciana

P#CS1 is a commemorative souvenir item, not a circulating banknote — issued by the Central Bank of Belize as a collectible rather than legal tender for everyday transactions. The gold foil bonding process used here was an unusual production choice for a small Caribbean issuer in the early 1980s, when such hybrid substrates were still a novelty outside major European security printers.

Belize had only gained independence from Britain in 1981, making this 1984 issue one of the earliest numismatic commemoratives released under the new national identity — still carrying the Queen's portrait while the country worked through its post-independence institutional arrangements.
