| Obverse description | Central device depicting a stylized cornucopia overflowing with grapevines and clusters of grapes, rendered in a bold, modernist artistic style inspired by ancient Cypriot iconography. The horn of plenty is shown held aloft by an outstretched arm, with trailing decorative elements below. The legend ΚΥΠΡΟΣ appears along the upper left periphery in Greek script, while KIBRIS·CYPRUS runs along the right periphery in Latin script. The commemorative inscription FAO·UN 1945-1970 is positioned in the left field, marking the 25th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. |
