Belize 1 dollar Elizabeth II KM-43a Parrot Bird PR 70 PCGS silver coin 1979

The Belize 1 Dollar 1979 Parrot coin is a refined proof issue celebrating the rich wildlife and national identity of Belize, released during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Struck in silver and finished in flawless Proof quality, this coin combines natural beauty with heraldic symbolism, making it a desirable piece for collectors of world and Caribbean numismatics.

The obverse features two highly detailed parrots perched on leafy branches. One bird faces forward while the second bends downward, creating a balanced and natural composition. Individual feathers, curved beaks, long tails, and textured plumage are sharply defined against a deep mirrored background. The inscription “ONE DOLLAR” arcs along the upper rim, while small leaves and branches fill the field. A beaded border frames the entire design, enhancing the proof contrast.

The reverse displays the coat of arms of Belize, enclosed within a wreath of stylized leaves. Two male figures stand on either side of the shield, each holding a tool over the shoulder, symbolizing labor and industry. The shield itself contains crossed tools, a sailing ship, and a tree above. A ribbon below bears the Latin motto “SUB UMBRA FLOREO”, meaning “Under the shade I flourish.” The country name “BELIZE” appears at the top, with the date 1979 below, all set within a beaded rim.

Certified PCGS PR70, this perfect example offers outstanding eye appeal, sharp relief, and elite collectability, ideal for collectors of wildlife, birds, and top-grade proof coins.
