| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts a stylized standing ungulate animal, rendered in a schematic, archaic artistic style reminiscent of ancient Near Eastern iconography, facing left in full profile. The figure occupies the majority of the field against a smooth copper background. The trilingual pattern designation legend curves along the upper periphery, reading ESSAI - PATTERN - PROBE in Latin characters. The date 2010 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the central motif. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Akrotiri and Dhekelia — the two Sovereign Base Areas retained by Britain after Cypriot independence in 1960 — have never issued currency for general circulation. The resident population uses the euro. This copper pattern is one of a small series of fantasy pieces produced around 2010 exploring what a coinage for the SBAs might theoretically look like, with denominations named in the invented "Xeros Ceros" unit, itself a play on the Xeros River running through the western SBA.
No monetary authority sanctioned it. Collector curiosity, not policy, produced this piece.
