Cyprus 1 Pound 2004, P-60d(1), UNC

Warm shades of amber, olive, and soft earth tones transform this Cypriot pound into a delicate portrait of island tradition and Mediterranean identity.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse presents a young Cypriot woman dressed in traditional costume beside the coat of arms of Cyprus and a subtle outline of the island itself. Fine ornamental structures, bilingual Greek and Turkish inscriptions, and embedded geometric security elements create a carefully balanced composition reflecting the island’s layered cultural heritage and political complexity.

Reverse

The reverse depicts the village landscape of Kato Drys surrounded by traditional Cypriot handicrafts including pottery, woven lacework, and decorative textiles. Earth-toned engraving and textured ornamental framing evoke the atmosphere of rural craftsmanship, preserving visual memories of village life and artisanal tradition.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this 2004 narrow security strip variety represents one of the final circulating pound issues before Cyprus adopted the euro. The note combines strong national symbolism with refined security technology, while its depiction of traditional dress, village architecture, and handcrafted objects makes it one of the most culturally expressive modern banknotes of Cyprus.
