| Additional information |
Belize's 1973 coinage debut followed directly from the country's renaming that same year — formerly British Honduras, the transition to Belize was a political assertion of identity ahead of full independence, which wouldn't arrive until 1981. The cent series issued in these transitional years was produced at the Royal Mint, retaining the colonial infrastructure even as the nomenclature changed beneath it.
