P#CS1 is a commemorative souvenir note, not a circulating issue — it was produced for the collector market and never passed through commerce. The gold foil laminate bonded into the substrate is the defining feature of the type, a novelty format that several Caribbean and Central American issuers experimented with briefly during the early-to-mid 1980s before the format fell out of favor.
Belize had only formally shed its colonial monetary identity in 1974, when the British Honduras dollar was replaced, so by 1984 the Central Bank was barely a decade old as an institution.
