Kind: Coins
Condition: Used

This 1976 Cyprus One Pound Coin is a powerful piece of Cypriot history. The Royal Mint struck it to uncirculated quality, and it remains beautifully preserved in its original presentation case.

The front shows a mother holding her child, with tents behind them. This scene reflects the refugee crisis during the Summer of 1974, a defining moment for Cyprus. The image speaks of loss, strength, and survival.

On the back, the coin carries the national emblem of Cyprus, framed by olive branches. Around it, you see the inscriptions ΚΥΠΡΟΣ – KIBRIS – CYPRUS and the year 1976. The design honors the resilience and unity of the Cypriot people.

The coin consists of copper-nickel and has a face value of £1, a significant denomination at the time. The Royal Mint produced it for collectors and institutions rather than for circulation. This limited release makes it an appealing choice for collectors today.

Numismatists, historians, and anyone who values Cyprus’ heritage will appreciate this piece. It connects you to a period that shaped the island’s modern identity. Whether displayed, gifted, or added to a collection, it stands as a meaningful reminder of endurance and national pride.

💬 Storytelling

Imagine holding in your hand not just a coin, but a symbol of endurance and identity. In 1976, just two years after the events of 1974, this coin was issued to honor the displaced families and the national struggle. Its imagery speaks without words — a mother, a child, and the tents that sheltered thousands. More than currency, it’s a piece of collective memory, bridging past and present for Cypriots everywhere.
