2 Dollar Belize Appraisal

Belize Two Dollars (BZD) Banknote - 2000 Series

This item is a two-dollar banknote from Belize, issued by the Central Bank of Belize. The primary colors evident are shades of cream, yellow, and blue-purple, with some hints of green in the background coloration. The banknote features a vertical orientation of the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the left side, adorned with a regal crown and necklace. The top left and bottom right corners of the note display the denomination '2$' in a distinct blue-purple ink. Another '2$' appears upright in the top right corner. The serial number 'DA241905' is prominently displayed vertically on both the right and left sides of the note. In the center, below the coat of arms, the text 'BELIZE HI JUNE 2000' is visible, indicating the series date. Below this, the words 'TWO DOLLARS' are printed in a bold, capitalized font, along with what appears to be a signature and text referencing 'LEGAL TENDER FOR THE PAYMENT'. The reverse side of the note is not visible in the provided image. The overall condition of the banknote shows significant signs of wear, including multiple creases and folds across the surface, particularly noticeable around the center and near the portrait. There is some discoloration and general softening of the paper, consistent with circulation and handling. The edges appear somewhat frayed, and there are no immediate signs of major tears, but the paper quality suggests a well-used item. The craftsmanship is typical of national currency, with intricate designs and security features, though some details are muted due to wear. This banknote is an example of circulating currency from the early 2000s.
