1974 Belize British Honduras 50 Cent {1-year issue} 

FEATURING
front: Three frigatebirds in flight

Lettering: FIFTY CENTS

back: Coat of arms of Belize within wreath. 

Lettering: SUB UMBRA FLOREO
Translation: I flourish in the shade.

The coat of arms of Belize was adopted upon independence, and the current coat of arms is only slightly different from that used when Belize was a British colony (the Union Jack has been removed, and a Mestizo woodcutter has replaced one of the supporting Afro-Belizean woodcutters).

The circular border of the coat is formed by 25 leaves. Within the circle is a mahogany tree, in front of which is a shield tierced per pall inverted. Within the shield are the tools of a woodcutter in the upper sections and a ship in the lower one. These are symbolic of the importance of mahogany in the 18th- and 19th-century Belizean economy.
