50 cents coin Cyprus

50 Cents, Cyprus (Issued 1994)

The fifty cent coin was the highest sub-pound denomination of the Cypriot pound, used until the island adopted the euro in 2008; one hundred cents made a pound. Struck in cupronickel with a silvery colour, it was distinctively seven-sided so it could be told apart by touch. Its inscriptions appear in English, Greek and Turkish.

On the obverse is the coat of arms of Cyprus, a shield bearing a dove with an olive branch above the year “1960”, set within a wreath. The country name runs around the rim as “CYPRUS · ΚΥΠΡΟΣ · KIBRIS” with the date “1994” at the foot.

On the reverse is a scene of the abduction of Europa, the mythological princess shown seated on the back of the bull into which Zeus had transformed himself, her drapery streaming behind. Stylised motifs and ancient Cypriot syllabic characters surround the figures, with a large numeral “50” at the foot.
