Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change for Belize, which was then known as British Honduras. The coin was minted in 1939, just a year before Belize became a Crown Colony, and it was minted again in 1946, the year that Belize began to transition towards self-government. This coin is a small but tangible piece of history that connects us to a significant period of change and growth for the country.
