| Obverse description | The original emblem of the Republic of Cyprus, which also serves as the emblem of the Central Bank of Cyprus, is centrally displayed within the field. The trilingual country name appears in an arc around the emblem in Greek (ΚΥΠΡΟΣ), English (CYPRUS), and Turkish (KIBRIS), reflecting Cyprus's official languages. The commemorative date range «1963 - 2013» is inscribed below the emblem, marking the fifty-year span of the Central Bank's existence. The design employs a clean, heraldic composition consistent with official Cypriot state symbolism. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a figural composition depicting a young girl holding an olive branch bearing fruit, a symbolic representation of hope and prosperity for the era following the Central Bank of Cyprus's fifty years of service to the Cypriot economy. In the background, alternating symbols of the Cyprus pound (£) and the euro (€) are rendered to evoke the two official currencies in circulation during the commemorated fifty-year period. The nominal value €20 appears prominently in the field. A circular legend around the design reads ΚΕΝΤΡΙΚΗ ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ ΤΗΣ ΚΥΠΡΟΥ 50 ΧΡΟΝΙΑ, identifying the issuing institution and the anniversary. The overall composition balances allegorical figural art with monetary iconography in a refined proof finish. |
