| Reverse description | The central design depicts a mother figure cradling a young child in the foreground, conveying the plight of displaced persons, with a encampment of tents rendered in lower relief in the background field. The denomination £1 appears to the right of the figural group, while the bilingual inscription ΘΕΡΟΣ and SUMMER 1974 is placed in the lower field, commemorating the displacement of Cypriot refugees following the events of summer 1974. The composition is naturalistic and emotionally expressive, characteristic of commemorative medallic art of the period. |
