| Reverse description | The large numeral 1 is prominently displayed in the centre of the field, serving as the principal denomination indicator. A circular legend surrounds the central device, reading CYPRUS at the top and ONE PIASTRE flanked by raised dots with the date 1949 at the bottom. The scalloped twelve-notch flan lends a distinctive profile to the overall design, consistent with the British colonial coinage tradition for Cyprus. |
