| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Belize occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing crossed tools — an axe and a paddle — above a sailing ship, flanked by two woodcutters standing as supporters, each holding an axe or paddle over their shoulder. A mahogany tree rises above the shield. The whole device is encircled by a laurel wreath. The legend BELIZE arcs across the upper field, while the motto SUB UMBRA FLOREO appears on a scroll beneath the supporters. The date is inscribed at the bottom of the field, below the scroll. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Belize achieved independence from Britain in 1981, but this series began circulating seven years earlier under the name British Honduras — which means early dates in this run were struck for a colony that no longer existed by the time the series ended. The Central Bank of Belize itself was only established in 1982, so issues through 1981 were technically authorized under transitional monetary arrangements during the independence negotiations.
