| Reverse description | Three lions passant guardant arranged in a column, derived from the Royal Arms of England, occupying the central field in bold relief with detailed mane and claw work. The circular legend around the periphery reads * CYPRUS * 1937 * MODEL * FORTY FIVE PIASTRES, separated by a beaded border from the milled rim. The design closely follows the heraldic tradition used on British colonial coinage of the era, adapted here as an unofficial model piece. |
