| 表面の説明 | The obverse is printed in blue-grey tones on plain paper, with a fine guilloche border running the full perimeter of the note. A central vignette at the top displays the large denomination numeral '5/-' within an ornate frame, flanked on either side by the serial number. The inscription 'FIVE SHILLINGS' appears in bold letterpress across the centre, with trilingual legends above in Greek (ΠΕΝΤΕ ΣΕΛΙΝΙΑ) and Arabic (بش شلين), and below the issuing authority 'GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS'. The date '30th October 1914' and the Currency Commissioner's manuscript signature appear in the lower portion. |

Cyprus was under British administration from 1878 but remained technically Ottoman sovereign territory until November 1914, when Britain formally annexed the island following the Ottoman entry into the First World War on the German side. This note was issued almost immediately after that annexation — the Government of Cyprus moving quickly to establish a local paper currency distinct from both Ottoman and Egyptian pound systems that had previously circulated on the island.
The trilingual denomination inscription reflects the island's demographic split: English for the colonial administration, Greek for the majority population, Turkish for the significant Cypriot Muslim minority. De La Rue produced the plates in London, their standard arrangement for British colonial issues of the period.
