CYPRUS. 1 Piastre. 1934. George V (1910-1936)

- Value: 1 Piastre.
- Reign: George V (1910-1936).
- Year: 1934.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: GEORGIVS V REX IMPERATOR. Reverse: CYPRVS · ONE PIASTRE · 1 · 1934.
- Grade: MS63 (NGC).

Coin of 1 Piastre with the portrait to the left of King George V, depicted with imperial crown and ceremonial uniform, in the realistic style characteristic of British coinage of the period. The reverse presents the face value in the center, surrounded by the denomination, the name of Cyprus and the date, all framed by an attractive edge with a beaded rim. The specimen is in excellent condition, with well-defined relief, clean fields and an original lustre partially visible under a light pale brown patina, consistent with its MS63 grade. Struck during British rule in 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.
