Previously British Honduras, Belize has been independent since 1981, remaining a member of the British Commonwealth. Our featured coin is a silver proof crown issued for the Queen's golden wedding in 1997, and has the Queen and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on the reverse. The obverse shows Belize's coat of arms with its motto SUB UMBRA FLOREO, which translates as I flower (or flourish) in the shade. |
