Additional information

British Honduras operated under a chaotic dual-currency reality for much of the late nineteenth century, with Mexican silver pesos circulating alongside British colonial issues at rates that shifted constantly with the silver market. The Colonial Office authorized this series partly to assert firmer monetary control over a colony where locally-struck coinage remained chronically undersupplied relative to trade demand.

KM#9 was produced at the Royal Mint, London. The series runs only seven years before Victoria's death in January 1901 closed it out.
