Belize 5 dollars Elizabeth II KM-44a Toucan Bird PR 70 PCGS silver coin 1979

The Belize 5 Dollars 1979 Toucan Bird coin is a striking proof silver issue that highlights the vibrant wildlife of Belize through refined numismatic art. Issued under Queen Elizabeth II and struck in high-quality silver, this coin combines natural beauty with strong national symbolism, making it an excellent choice for collectors of world wildlife and Caribbean coinage.

The obverse presents a finely engraved toucan perched on a horizontal branch. The bird is shown in side profile, emphasizing its long, curved beak, rounded head, compact body, and layered tail feathers. Subtle texturing on the plumage contrasts beautifully with the smooth mirrored background. Surrounding the bird are thin branches with small leaves, adding depth and balance to the composition. Along the upper rim appears the inscription “FIVE DOLLARS”, while a delicate beaded border frames the entire design, enhancing the proof finish.

The reverse displays the coat of arms of Belize, enclosed by a wreath of stylized leaves. Two standing male figures flank the central shield, each holding a tool over the shoulder, symbolizing labor and national heritage. The shield itself shows crossed tools, a sailing ship above water, and a tree at the top. Below, a ribbon bears the Latin motto “SUB UMBRA FLOREO”. The country name “BELIZE” crowns the design, with the date 1979 positioned beneath, all encircled by a beaded rim.

Certified PCGS PR70, this flawless proof coin offers exceptional eye appeal and strong collectible value.
