| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Belize occupies the central field, flanked by two human supporters — a mestizo figure and a Creole figure — each bearing a woodcutting tool, rendered in fine relief. The shield displays crossed tools above a sailing ship in base, surmounted by a mahogany tree, with the national motto SUB UMBRA FLOREO inscribed on a scroll below. The composition is framed by an open wreath of laurel branches, with the country name BELIZE arching above and the date 1974 appearing in the lower field. A uniform beaded border encircles the entire design at the rim. |

| Reverse description | Two swallow-tailed kites (Elanoides forficatus) are depicted in dynamic flight, their deeply forked tails and outstretched wings rendered in fine sculptural relief against a plain field. The birds are positioned symmetrically, conveying a sense of graceful motion. The denomination legend ONE CENT is inscribed in the lower portion of the field in bold, evenly spaced lettering. A beaded border runs continuously around the rim, framing the composition. |
