Belize 10 dollars Elizabeth II KM-65a Spoonbill Bird PR 70 PCGS silver coin 1981

The Belize 10 Dollars 1981 Spoonbill Bird coin is an outstanding proof issue celebrating the diverse wildlife and natural environments of Belize. Struck in silver during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, this coin combines elegant wildlife art with classic national heraldry, making it a strong addition to any world coin or bird-themed collection.

The obverse features a finely engraved spoonbill bird standing in shallow water among marsh plants. The bird is shown with partially raised wings, emphasizing its long feathered wingspan and graceful posture. Its distinctive elongated bill, slender legs, layered wing feathers, and textured body are rendered in sharp relief against a deep mirrored background. Reeds, leaves, and water ripples beneath the bird add realism and depth to the scene. The denomination “TEN DOLLARS” curves along the upper rim, while a beaded border frames the design.

The reverse presents the coat of arms of Belize, encircled by 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 displays crossed tools, a sailing ship on water, and a tree above. Below, a ribbon bears the Latin motto “SUB UMBRA FLOREO”. The country name “BELIZE” appears at the top, with the year 1981 below, all enclosed by a beaded rim.

Certified PCGS PR70, this flawless coin offers exceptional eye appeal, crisp detail, and elite collectability for wildlife and proof coin enthusiasts.
