Interesting fact
The ½ Piastre coin from Cyprus, featuring George V, has an interesting feature - it has a unique "split-date" format, where the date on the obverse (1934) is different from the date on the reverse (1932). This was due to a mistake in the minting process, where the dies for the obverse and reverse were not aligned properly, resulting in a mismatched date. This error has become a distinctive characteristic of the coin, making it stand out among other coins in the series.
