This note was not issued for circulation. It was produced as a collector piece by the Central Bank of Belize in 1984, part of a limited commemorative program that predates the widespread central bank practice of issuing polymer or hybrid substrate souvenir notes. The gold foil bonding is functional to the substrate construction rather than applied as decoration — an unusual choice for the period, and one that creates known delamination problems in improperly stored examples.
The $75 denomination has no place in Belize's regular currency structure, which makes its face value purely nominal.
