Belize 10 dollars Belizian Birds Roseate Spoonbill PR68 PCGS silver coin 1981

The 1981 Belize 10 Dollars “Roseate Spoonbill” silver coin is a precious issue from the Belizian Birds series, dedicated to the exotic avifauna of Central America. On the obverse, the coin displays the graceful Roseate Spoonbill with its characteristic long, flat, spoon-shaped beak. The bird is depicted among marsh plants, spreading its wide wings as if preparing to take flight, emphasizing its elegance and natural habitat. Above the scene runs the denomination “TEN DOLLARS” framed by a dotted border. The reverse side features the coat of arms of Belize, surmounted by a mahogany tree, symbol of the country’s forestry heritage. The shield contains images of tools—axes, saw, and paddle—reflecting Belize’s timber industry. Two supporters stand proudly on either side: one holding an axe, the other a paddle. Below, the national motto “Sub Umbra Floreo” (“I flourish in the shade”) highlights prosperity under protection. At the top, the inscription “BELIZE” is engraved, with the date 1981 below. Struck in silver with proof deep cameo finish and certified PCGS PR68, this coin impresses with its sharp details and mirror-like surfaces. A collector’s treasure, it unites artistry, symbolism, and rarity, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
