The Monetary Authority of Belize was itself a transitional institution — created in 1976 when British Honduras became Belize and replaced in 1982 by the Central Bank of Belize. This note falls squarely in that brief window, issued by a body that existed for less than a decade. Thomas De La Rue had printed currency for the territory going back through the colonial period, so the relationship was well established by 1980.
P#40 is the last series this Authority would produce before its dissolution.
