Coin of 1 Piastre with a left portrait of King George V, depicted with imperial crown and ceremonial uniform, in a realistic style characteristic of British coinage of the period. The reverse presents the face value in the center, surrounded by the denomination, the name Cyprus and the date, all framed by an attractive beaded-edge planchet. The specimen is in excellent condition, with well-defined relief, clean fields and original lustre partially visible under a soft light brown patina, consistent with its MS63 grade. Struck during the British administration of Cyprus, this piece is part of the colonial monetary system imposed on the island under the British Crown, reflecting the political and economic influence of the Empire in the eastern Mediterranean.
