Where it came from
The 1914 one-cent coin from British Honduras, now Belize, was produced during the reign of King George V. These bronze coins were issued under the colonial administration to facilitate local trade and unify the currency system of the territory, which had previously utilized a complex mix of British, American, and local tokens. The coins served as a fundamental unit of daily exchange within the colony’s evolving economic framework.
The design features the crowned effigy of King George V on the obverse, a standard motif for British colonial coinage of the era, crafted by sculptor Bertram Mackennal. The reverse displays the denomination within a beaded circle, surrounded by the name of the colony and the year of minting. The aesthetic is characteristic of early twentieth-century imperial currency, emphasizing institutional stability and the reach of the British monetary system in the Caribbean.
