| 正面铭文 | ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS ΠΕΝΤΕ ΣΕΛΙΝΙΑ BEŞ ŞİLİN FIVE SHILLINGS 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1952 COMMISSIONER OF CURRENCY |
| 背面描述 | The reverse is dominated by a large, elaborate central guilloche medallion in rose and blue tones, composed of interlocking geometric lathe-work patterns radiating symmetrically from the centre. A rectangular cartouche with the inscription GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS in bold letterpress is positioned at the centre of the medallion. The overall design is uncluttered, relying entirely on the complexity of the engine-turned guilloche for its anti-counterfeiting aesthetic. |

Cyprus was still a Crown Colony in 1952, and this note was issued under that administration — the same political arrangement that would collapse under EOKA pressure within three years of this series entering circulation. Bradbury Wilkinson had a long relationship with British colonial currency work, and their intaglio printing kept quality consistent across issues that were, in practice, produced for a population increasingly hostile to the issuing authority.
The 5 Shilling denomination was the lowest in the Government of Cyprus series, used heavily in daily trade. Notes at this face value typically show the most wear, and genuinely uncirculated examples of P#30 are harder to find than the higher denominations.
