5 Dollars Golden Wedding

Belize issued this piece to mark the golden wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1997 — the same year the couple's union survived a notably turbulent period for the Windsor family in the wake of Diana's death in August. The anniversary was celebrated across Commonwealth realms, prompting a wave of coordinated commemorative issues from multiple central banks, of which Belize's contribution is among the less frequently encountered in secondary markets.
