Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Piastre coin from Cyprus featuring Edward VII (1902-1908) is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the island nation's history. Cyprus was under British rule at the time, and the coin's design reflects this, featuring an image of King Edward VII on one side and the Cyprus coat of arms on the other. The coin's bronze composition and relatively low weight also make it stand out among other coins of the time. Despite its age, the ¼ Piastre coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of Cyprus' rich history and cultural heritage.
