| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Cyprus occupies the central field, depicting a dove of peace in flight carrying an olive branch above the date 1960, all set within a heraldic shield, and flanked by two olive branches tied at the base. The circular legend reads CYPRUS in Latin script to the left, ΚΥΠΡΟΣ in Greek script above, and KIBRIS in Latin script to the right, with the issue year 1988 appearing at the base between two dots, all in raised lettering against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | A boldly stylised depiction of an athlete rendered in high relief dominates the field, shown inverted mid-dive with arms raised and fingers splayed at the top of the design, the muscular torso and legs extending downward in a dramatic composition. Two large intersecting elliptical rings sweep across the field on either side of the figure, evoking both athletic motion and the Olympic spirit. The five interlocked Olympic rings appear to the right within one of the ellipses. The denomination £1 is incused at the lower centre of the field in a bold serif typeface. |
