Yes, I see it now. I've highlighted the flower in red, in my unsteady hand. (The steady one is on holiday).

I am now sure that it is the black orchid. Not a clue on what the right flower is, but I suspect it is also a plant that is endemic to Belize.

I looked them up in Gerhard's WMK: Heliconia aurantiaca and Malvaviscus arboreus.  He has the other info I posted, so I would suppose he is correct. He usually is. I couldn't lay my hands on the book for a while, because I was having a big tidy-up.

Falkland Islands, 100 pounds, 1990.  Queen Mother's 90th birthday.  Design by Robert Elderton.

This was a gold coin. A gold 25 pounds coin was also issued with the same design.
