Cyprus was still a British Crown Colony when this series was authorized, and the notes circulated through a period of acute political violence — the EOKA campaign for enosis began in April 1955, the same year the first signatures on this type appear. The Government of Cyprus, rather than a central bank, remained the issuing authority because no independent central bank yet existed; that would only come with the Republic in 1960.
Bradbury Wilkinson printed the full run from their New Malden works, a house that handled colonial and dominion currency for much of the British world. The shift from Jenkin's signature to Thomaides' in 1960 marks the constitutional transition precisely — Thomaides signed as the island moved from colony to republic.
