Obverse description The coat of arms of Belize occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with crossed tools and a sailing vessel, supported by two barefoot woodcutters — one holding an axe, the other a paddle — flanking a mahogany tree above. A scroll beneath bears the national motto SUB UMBRA FLOREO. The denomination ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS arcs around the left and lower periphery, with BELIZE inscribed along the upper arc. The legend 500/1000 FINE GOLD appears in the lower field below the coat of arms. A beaded circle frames the entire design near the rim.

Reverse description Two Moorish idol fish (Zanclus cornutus) are depicted swimming in opposite directions within the central field, their elongately elongated dorsal filaments and bold black, white, and yellow-patterned bodies rendered in fine relief against a background of stylized coral formations. The date 1980 is inscribed in the lower field. A beaded circle borders the design near the rim, consistent with the obverse treatment.
