Interesting fact
The 1995 Cyprus FAO 1 Pound coin features a unique design, with a dolphin jumping out of the water on the obverse side, and the FAO emblem on the reverse side. This coin is interesting because it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, and it is a rare example of a non-circulating coin made of copper-nickel. Additionally, the coin's weight of 28.28 grams is slightly unusual, as most coins are minted in standard weights such as 25 or 50 grams.
