| Additional information |
Cyprus joined the European Union on 1 May 2004 alongside nine other nations in the bloc's largest single enlargement, though it did so while still technically divided — the northern third of the island remained under Turkish military occupation following the 1974 invasion, meaning Brussels effectively absorbed a state with unresolved territorial partition. The accession applied only to the government-controlled south, with the acquis communautaire suspended in the north pending reunification talks that have yet to produce a settlement.
The .925 silver version shares its specifications with the contemporaneous cupro-nickel circulation strike, a pairing common to Cypriot commemorative practice of this period.
