| Additional information |
Struck for circulation in Cyprus under British colonial administration, this series spans nearly a decade during which the island's political climate shifted considerably — the 1931 Cypriot revolt against British rule erupted just as the final coins of this type were being issued. Whether any of the 1931 mintage actually reached circulation before the uprising is an open question that colonial supply records have never fully resolved.
