Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1976 Cyprus Refugee Silver 1 Pound coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, which resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people and the establishment of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP). The coin's design features a family of refugees on one side and the UNFICYP logo on the other, symbolizing the international community's efforts to provide aid and shelter to those affected by the conflict.
