| Reverse description | The denomination expressed as the fraction 1/2 is prominently displayed in large numerals at the centre of the field. The legend · CYPRVS · arcs along the upper border, while · HALF PIASTRE · 1934 · curves along the lower border, all within the twelve-notch scalloped rim. The layout is bold and uncluttered, with the lettering rendered in a Roman serif style consistent with British colonial coinage of the period. Raised dots serve as separators between the legend elements. |
