This Central American region bordering Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean became a Crown Colony in 1862, was granted self-government in 1964 and changed its name to Belize in 1973.
The first stamp shown is an 1884 variant, the only difference from the #1 being the watermark. Scott makes the usual distinction between war tax and semi-postal stamps. No airmail or official stamps were issued for British Honduras.
