| Reverse description | A stylized ancient Cypriot bull's head rendered in the manner of a Bronze Age rhyton or ceremonial vessel dominates the central field, its sweeping curved horns forming a heart-shaped arc across the upper portion of the coin. The design is derived from an ancient Cypriot archaeological artefact. Two decorative foliate or wing-like ornamental elements flank the lower field on either side. The denomination numeral 5 is incuse within a raised circular border at the base of the design. |
