| Beschrijving keerzijde | The scene depicts HMS Merlin, a Royal Navy sloop, flanked by two Baymen gun flats advancing toward the enemy fleet, all rendered within a raised circle. The composition commemorates the pivotal naval engagement of 10 September 1798 in which British settlers and their allies repelled a Spanish fleet. The commemorative legend arcs around the upper and lower portions of the reverse field, with the dual date 1798 - 1998 completing the inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Battle of St. George's Caye, fought on September 10, 1798, was a brief naval engagement between British settlers and their enslaved Baymen allies against a Spanish fleet attempting to expel them from the Bay of Honduras. The Spanish force was larger by almost any measure, yet withdrew after roughly two hours — a result Belizean national identity has anchored to ever since. September 10th remains the country's most significant public holiday.
The 1998 issue marks the battle's bicentennial exactly.
