| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George VI, wearing the Imperial State Crown, engraved in high relief at center. The portrait, modelled by Percy Metcalfe, shows the king in a bare-shouldered truncation with fine detail on the crown's arches, crosses, and jewelled band. The engraver's initials 'PM' appear discreetly below the truncation. The Latin legend GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR curves along the upper and right periphery, following the scalloped contour of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyprus came under formal British Crown Colony administration in 1925, but wartime supply chains severely disrupted coin production schedules across the empire. The 1942–1946 date range for this issue reflects the difficulty of maintaining regular mint output during the Second World War, with the Royal Mint dividing attention and metal resources across dozens of colonial and domestic obligations simultaneously.
The shift to KM#23a — distinguishing it from the earlier KM#23 — marks a bronze composition change driven by wartime material pressures rather than any policy decision specific to Cyprus.
