| Reverse description | The reverse presents an allegorical composition illustrating two fundamental food sources associated with Cyprus: a stylized ear of wheat, symbolizing the island's agricultural heritage, and a swordfish, representing its maritime resources. The design was executed by engraver Clara Zacharaki-Georghiou in a clean, modernist style. The denomination 500 and the commemorative date appear as part of the reverse legend. |
