Zusätzliche Informationen	British Honduras maintained sterling silver coinage well into the 1940s while Britain itself had debased its own domestic silver to 50% in 1920 and abandoned it altogether in 1947. The colony's .925 fineness during these war years was an artifact of monetary conservatism rather than policy design — Belize City's small circulation volumes simply never justified retooling the specification. George VI's accession in 1936 followed his brother's abdication, and the dies for colonial issues required rapid updating across dozens of territories simultaneously, causing brief overlaps in dated production.
