| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Belize occupies the central field, flanked by two shirtless male supporters — one holding an axe over his left shoulder, the other a paddle over his right — standing on either side of a quartered shield depicting crossed tools and a sailing vessel. A mahogany tree rises above the shield, and a ribbon below bears the motto SUB UMBRA FLOREO. The composition is framed by a wreath of olive branches enclosed within a beaded border. The country name BELIZE arcs along the upper legend, and the date appears at the bottom of the field. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed portrait of a Keel-Billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus), the national bird of Belize, is depicted in left-facing profile, perched on a branch with tropical foliage extending to either side. The bird's characteristic large, curved bill and compact body are rendered with naturalistic precision against a deeply mirrored proof field. The denomination FIVE DOLLARS arcs along the upper portion of the coin within a beaded border that runs the full circumference of the reverse. |
