| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Belize occupies the central field, depicting two woodcutters flanking a quartered shield charged with tools and a sailing vessel, surmounted by a mahogany tree beneath a shaded canopy. The supporters stand on a ground of local flora, with the national motto SUB UMBRA FLOREO inscribed on a scroll at the base of the arms. The legend BELIZE arcs above the coat of arms, and the date 1974 appears below, all enclosed within an encircling wreath of laurel branches. A raised beaded border frames the entire design at the rim. |

The bird's characteristically elongated tail feathers are clearly delineated, and fine engraving captures the plumage with precision. The denomination legend TEN CENTS is inscribed within the field, and a raised beaded border encircles the design at the rim. |
