A finely engraved vignette occupies the central field, showing two birds perched on flowering branches — a Cyprus Warbler at left and a Kingfisher at right — rendered in detailed intaglio work against a background of reeds and wildflowers. The inscription CENTRAL BANK OF CYPRUS appears in the upper right, with TEN POUNDS at lower left. A decorative geometric border frames the entire composition. |
