| Additional information |
Belize issued this silver striking of the circulation cent design as part of a broader proof and collector series produced in the early years following independence from Britain in 1981. The swallow-tailed kite had appeared on Belizean coinage since the transition from British Honduras, carrying over a design lineage that predates the country's formal existence as a sovereign state.
KM#83a is the silver variant of the base-metal circulation type, struck specifically for collector sets rather than general release.
