Belize Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Belize is a fascinating journey through the monetary evolution of this Central American country. From the first issues to the current banknotes, the Belizean notafilia reflects the rich cultural and natural heritage of the nation.

Current banknotes in circulation

Belize's current banknotes are characterized by their colorful design and representative motifs of the country. The current series includes denominations of $2, $5, $10, $10, $20, $50 and $100 Belize dollars, each with images of Belize' s flora, fauna and historical sites. The $100 bill, for example, features the famous Lamanai Jaguar Temple on its reverse, while the obverse shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Old banknotes and milestones in Belizean notability

The first Belizean banknotes were issued in 1894 by the Government of British Honduras, the name of the country before its independence. An important milestone was the introduction of the Belize dollar in 1974, which replaced the British Honduran dollar. Another significant moment occurred in 1980, when the first series of banknotes was issued that no longer featured the word "British" in its design, reflecting the path to full independence that would be achieved in 1981. Since then, Belize has issued several series of banknotes, each reflecting the country's growing national identity and pride in its natural and cultural heritage.
