| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Belize occupies the central field, flanked by two human supporters standing upon a scroll bearing the national motto, the whole ensigned by a mahogany tree and encircled by a wreath of laurel branches. The country name BELIZE arcs along the upper rim as a legend, and the date 1984 is inscribed along the lower rim. A continuous beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Belize adopted a decimalized currency system at independence in 1973, replacing the British Honduras dollar on a one-to-one basis. The aluminium five-cent piece was part of the first coinage series issued under the new Central Bank, which was itself only established in 1982 — meaning this 1984 strike is among the earliest issues produced under full central bank authority rather than the transitional Currency Board that preceded it.
