Belize 10 dollars Belizian Birds Laughing Falcon PR67 PCGS silver coin 1984

The 1984 Belize 10 Dollars “Laughing Falcon” silver coin is a remarkable piece from the Belizian Birds series, combining numismatic artistry with natural symbolism. The obverse of the coin features a detailed image of the Laughing Falcon, a majestic bird of prey native to Central and South America. The engraver captured every feather, the powerful hooked beak, and the predatory pose of this raptor, making the design both realistic and symbolic of freedom and vigilance. Around the motif is the denomination “TEN DOLLARS” framed by a beaded border. The reverse presents the national coat of arms of Belize, crowned with a mahogany tree. The shield depicts tools of the timber industry—axes, saw, and paddle—while two supporters stand on either side: a woodcutter with an axe on the left and another with a paddle on the right. Beneath lies the national motto “Sub Umbra Floreo” (“I flourish in the shade”), symbolizing prosperity under natural abundance. Issued in silver with prooflike deep cameo quality and graded PCGS PR67, this coin reflects the high standards of minting. Part of a limited mintage, it is sought after for its rarity, cultural symbolism, and pristine preservation. A true highlight for collectors of certified world silver coins.
