| Additional information |
British Honduras operated under a fixed exchange rate pegged to the U.S. dollar from 1894 onward, which shaped the colony's coinage denominations more than any metropolitan preference. The five-cent piece sat at a practical sweet spot for market transactions in Belize Town, where it circulated alongside U.S. silver with minimal friction.
KM#14 spans only the final three years of Edward VII's reign. His death in May 1910 closed the type abruptly.
