Coin set – Belize

Full set of continental

Caribbean with rare coin shapes

After Christopher Columbus discovered

the first American Isles in 1492,

he finally saw what is now called Belize,

on his fourth voyage in 1502

and set foot on the mainland of the New World for the first time.

However, Belize became a British colony in 1862,

so today it’s the only one

English-speaking country in Central America.

Three Spanish ships “Santa Maira”,

“Nina” and “Pinta” of the first expedition of Columbus

depicted on the reverse of the ten-sided $1 coin

from this complete set of coins from Belize.

Other reverses feature ornaments and denominations.

All obverses feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
