| 正面铭文 | ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS ΔΥΟ ΣΕΛΙΝΙΑ ايكي شلن TWO SHILLINGS COMMISSIONER OF CURRENCY |
| 背面描述 | The reverse is dominated by a large multicolour guilloche medallion in violet, green, and brown tones, composed of intricate lathe-work patterns radiating from a central ornament. A horizontal rectangular cartouche at the centre bears the inscription GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS in bold serif lettering against a plain background. The overall design is uncluttered, relying entirely on the complexity of the engine-turned guilloche work for its anti-counterfeiting effect. |

| 备注 |
Cyprus had no central bank in this period — currency was issued directly by the colonial government under authority of the Cyprus Currency Notes Law. The 2 Shilling denomination was a workhorse of the wartime economy, when coinage shortages across British territories made small-denomination paper an operational necessity rather than a policy preference.
Bradbury Wilkinson's work on colonial fractional notes of this era is generally tighter than their larger-format output — intaglio printing on small stock presents genuine registration challenges, and the Cyprus series holds up well against comparable British West African and Malayan issues of the same years.
