| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized mosaic-inspired composition depicting the mythological scene of Leda standing beside the swan, evoking the ancient Greek legend. The design draws on the rich tradition of Cypriot mosaic art, rendered with decorative geometric borders and tessellated background elements characteristic of the style. The nominal value €5 is inscribed prominently within the composition. The artistic treatment references the celebrated Leda and the Swan mosaic from the House of Dionysos at Paphos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The overall design reflects Cyprus's deep Hellenic cultural and archaeological heritage. |
