| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing portrait bust of the Cypriot poet Vasilis Michaelides rendered in high relief against a plain field, capturing the subject with characteristic moustache and period attire consistent with the late 19th century. The curved legend ΒΑΣΙΛΗΣ ΜΙΧΑΗΛΙΔΗΣ ΠΟΙΗΤΗΣ arcs along the upper periphery in Greek script, accompanied by the poet's birth and death dates 1849–1917. The denomination €5 appears to the right of the portrait in the field. A decorative beaded border frames the composition, consistent with the obverse treatment. |
