500 Mils Human Rights - Silver Proof issue

Descrizione del dritto	Central design features a stylized flame motif composed of two elongated leaf-shaped forms rising from a small wreath of olive branches, symbolizing the torch of human rights. The legend HUMAN RIGHTS arcs along the upper rim in bold Latin characters. Flanking the base of the wreath are the commemorative dates 1948 and 1978, marking the thirtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Below the central motif, the country name appears in three scripts: ΚΥΠΡΟΣ in Greek, with CYPRUS and KIBRIS in Latin script arranged along the lower field and rim.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Issued the same year Cyprus held its first presidential election following the 1974 Turkish invasion and the island's de facto partition, this coin belongs to a short series of Cypriot proof issues that used the Human Rights theme partly to assert international legitimacy during a period of acute political isolation. The .925 silver striking was produced in limited numbers for collector distribution rather than circulation — the Republic of Cyprus had far more pressing economic concerns than commemorative coin programs.
