| Reverse description | Central device depicts a stylised ancient Cypriot sailing galley (adapted from an archaic terracotta model) shown in left profile, with a prominent square sail set on a central mast with multiple yards and rigging rendered in fine detail. The prow is fashioned as a bird's head, and the stern curves upward in an elegant swan-neck form. Stylised waves appear beneath the hull, lending a sense of motion. The denomination numeral '5' is prominently positioned to the left of the mast in the field. A decorative wave-pattern border frames the entire design within the coin's rim. |
