| Opschrift voorzijde | ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS ΕΝΑ ΣΕΛΙΝΙ ONE SHILLING Commissioner of Currency |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The entire reverse is composed of an intricate multicolour guilloche pattern in red, green, and blue, forming an ornate lace-like design that fills the note to its borders. A central horizontal cartouche with a solid red background bears the issuer inscription in white letterpress. No figurative imagery is present; the design relies entirely on the geometric security printing. |

| Opmerkingen |
Cyprus remained under British administration throughout this note's production window, and the Shilling denomination reflected the island's integration into a sterling-based monetary system — not a local tradition. Bradbury Wilkinson, one of the more technically accomplished security printers of the mid-century, produced the guilloche underprint work here to a standard consistent with their Colonial Office contracts of the period.
The eight-year date span across this series reflects wartime disruption to print scheduling rather than any policy revision. Notes from the earlier end of the range are noticeably scarcer.
