50 Cents

Bradbury Wilkinson printed the bulk of Cyprus's post-independence note series, and this 50 Cents is among the smaller denominations they handled for Nicosia through the early 1980s. The firm's New Malden facility had by this point a long relationship with Commonwealth and former-Commonwealth central banks, though Bradbury Wilkinson itself would close within the decade — acquired and wound down by American Bank Note Company by 1990.

Cyprus was still issuing pounds and fractions under conditions shaped by the 1974 partition, with the Central Bank operating exclusively from the government-controlled south. The 50 Cents denomination was withdrawn as Cyprus eventually moved toward decimalization consolidation ahead of its later monetary transitions.
