Cyprus's 1 Pound notes in this series were split between two printers — De La Rue in London and Oberthur Fiduciaire in France — a relatively uncommon arrangement for a small island economy that reflects the Central Bank's procurement strategy during a period of expanding note demand. The two printings are distinguishable by subtle differences in ink saturation and plate registration, though both carry the same Pick reference.
Cyprus retained the pound as its currency until 1 January 2008, when it adopted the euro. Notes from this series therefore circulated for over two decades in some cases.
