| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design portrays a stylized female figure in profile, her diademed head turned to the lower left, raising one arm to support a large wicker basket overflowing with an abundant harvest of grapes, flowers, leaves, and fruit. The composition is executed in a modernist relief style reminiscent of ancient Cypriot terracotta figurines. The denomination numeral 500 appears in the right field beside the figure's raised arm. No additional legend is present on this face, the design alone conveying themes of agricultural abundance in keeping with the FAO commemorative purpose. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck as part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, which recruited dozens of national mints throughout the late 1960s and 1970s to issue commemorative pieces promoting agricultural development and food security. Cyprus's participation was a natural fit — the island's economy was still heavily agricultural, and the FAO program offered a politically neutral vehicle for a country navigating the intercommunal tensions that had followed the 1963–64 violence between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
The .800 silver proof was issued alongside a base-metal circulation strike of the same type, KM#43.
