Interesting fact

The 5 Cents coin from Belize › British Honduras (1862-1973) made of Copper-nickel weighing 3.63 g has an interesting fact that it was designed with a unique portrait of King George V, which was specifically created for the coinage of British Honduras. The portrait was engraved by the artist George E. Kruger Gray, and it features a youthful and energetic image of the king, which was meant to symbolize the vigor and progress of the young nation. This design was used on the coin until 1936, when the king's image was updated to reflect his older age.
