| 表面の説明 | Crowned effigy of King George VI facing left, modelled by Percy Metcalfe, whose initials PM appear in relief below the truncation. The royal portrait is surrounded by a circular legend in Latin reading GEORGIVS VI DEI GRA. REX. ET IND. IMP., separated by stops, with the engraver's initials PM integrated into the design below the bust. The overall style is a restrained, formal effigy consistent with British colonial coinage of the period. |

Cyprus transitioned from silver to copper-nickel coinage in 1938 under wartime metal pressures, and by 1947 the island was in the final turbulent stretch of British colonial administration before EOKA insurgency reshaped everything. This particular issue was struck at the Royal Mint during a period when George VI's government was simultaneously managing Indian independence and a collapsing imperial budget — small colonial denominations were low priority, and mintage figures for Cyprus copper-nickel from this period reflect that.
The 1947 date makes this the last florin-equivalent struck for Cyprus before the 1949 reworking of the colonial coinage schedule.
