Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant change for Belize, which was then known as British Honduras. The coin was minted in 1956, just a few years before Belize gained its independence from Britain in 1973. This coin is a reminder of the country's rich history and its transition from a British colony to an independent nation.
