| Reverse description | The reverse presents a powerful humanitarian composition depicting a seated refugee mother cradling a child, rendered in bold relief against a background evoking a refugee encampment with tents. The figures are styled in a monumental, expressive manner consistent with commemorative medallic art of the period. To the right of the central motif, the denomination £1 appears in the field. A bilingual inscription below or adjacent to the design reads ΘΕΡΟΣ in Greek and SUMMER in English, followed by the date 1974, referencing the displacement of Cypriot refugees during the summer of that year. |
