| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized ancient Cypriot sailing vessel, rendered in a bold, modernist graphic style inspired by archaic Cypriot pottery motifs. The ship is shown in profile sailing to the right, featuring a prominent central mast with rigging lines and a billowing square sail, a bird-headed prow, and a curved stern ornament. Stylized wave forms rendered as parallel curved lines occupy the lower field beneath the hull. The large numeral '5' appears to the left of the mast in the upper field, serving as the denomination indicator. The design fills the dodecagonal flan to its full extent with no additional legend. |
