| Obverse description | Central device depicts two stylized cornucopias crossed at their stems, overflowing with clusters of grapes at their mouths, rendered in a bold, graphic artistic style evoking ancient Cypriot motifs. The legend ΚΥΠΡΟΣ appears along the left arc in Greek script, with the inscription FAO·UN 1945-1970 following beneath it, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The legend KIBRIS·CYPRUS curves along the right arc in Latin script, identifying the issuing nation in Turkish and English respectively. The field is smooth and lightly mirrored, consistent with proof production. |
