Belize 10 dollars Seafaring Carrack 16th Century Ship Clipper silver coin 1995

The 1995 Belize 10 Dollars “Carrack – 16th Century Ship” silver coin is a stunning numismatic piece dedicated to the golden age of seafaring and maritime exploration. The obverse of the coin showcases a detailed depiction of a carrack, a large ocean-going vessel of the 16th century, with its towering masts, billowing sails, and ornate sterncastle. This type of ship was widely used by European explorers during the Age of Discovery, symbolizing courage, trade, and the expansion of horizons. Above the vessel runs the inscription “CARRACK 16th CENTURY,” while the denomination “10 DOLLARS” is placed below, all framed by a beaded border. The reverse features the coat of arms of Belize, topped with a mahogany tree. Inside the shield are the tools of the timber industry—axes, saw, and paddle—representing the country’s historical economic foundations. The shield is supported by two male figures: one with an axe, the other with a paddle, symbolizing labor and tradition. Beneath is the national motto “Sub Umbra Floreo” (“I flourish in the shade”), with the date 1995 and the inscription “BELIZE” above. Struck in silver to proof quality, this coin combines historical maritime themes with national identity. A rare and beautifully crafted collectible for connoisseurs of naval history and world silver coinage.
