Belize 5 dollars Elizabeth II KM-44a Toucan Bird PR 69 PCGS silver coin 1981

The Belize 5 Dollars 1981 Toucan Bird coin is a refined proof issue celebrating the exotic wildlife and natural richness of Belize. Issued during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and struck in silver, this coin combines elegant animal imagery with national heraldic symbolism, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Caribbean and wildlife-themed numismatics.

The obverse features a detailed toucan perched on a slender branch with small leaves. The bird is shown in profile, highlighting its large curved beak, rounded head, and compact body. Fine engraving captures the texture of the feathers, the smooth contours of the beak, and the layered tail plumage. The surrounding branches and leaves add balance to the composition, set against a deep mirrored field. Along the upper rim, the inscription “FIVE DOLLARS” is clearly visible, while a beaded border frames the entire design, emphasizing the proof contrast.

The reverse displays the coat of arms of Belize, enclosed within a wreath of stylized leaves. Two standing male figures flank the central shield, each holding a tool over the shoulder, symbolizing labor and industry. The shield depicts crossed tools, a sailing ship on water, and a tree above. Beneath it, a ribbon bears the Latin motto “SUB UMBRA FLOREO”. The country name “BELIZE” appears at the top, with the year 1981 below, all surrounded by a beaded rim.

Certified PCGS PR69, this high-grade proof coin offers excellent eye appeal and strong collector value for bird and world coin enthusiasts.
