Additional information

Belize introduced this silver striking alongside its circulating cupro-nickel counterpart as part of a collector-oriented program common to small Caribbean and Central American nations seeking foreign exchange income during the debt-stressed 1980s. The frigatebird piece was never intended for circulation — the silver version exists purely as a proof-quality export product.

The KM#94a designation separates it from the base-metal issue. Two-year window, 1984–1985, with no documented continuation.
