Reversbeschreibung	A stylised dove, symbolic of freedom and peace, occupies the central field, its body marked with a single human tear as a poignant artistic motif. The numeral 500, denoting the face value in Mils, is inscribed in the lower field below the dove. The design is clean and uncluttered, with the figural and numerical elements rendered in relief against a flat field. The composition reflects the humanitarian theme of the issue.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Issued to mark the 30th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, this coin appeared just four years after the Turkish military intervention that partitioned Cyprus — a timing that gave the commemorative a sharper political edge than its nominal subject might suggest. The government in Nicosia was by then administering only the southern portion of the island, lending the human rights theme an unmistakable local resonance.
