| Reverse description | Two swallow-tailed kites (Elanoides forficatus) are depicted in dynamic flight, their deeply forked tails and pointed wings rendered with naturalistic detail against a plain field. The denomination 1 CENT is inscribed as the central legend, with the birds arranged symmetrically to either side. A beaded circle borders the design, conforming to the scalloped outline of the planchet. The overall composition is clean and uncluttered, characteristic of the Franklin Mint's proof wildlife series for Belize. |
