The issue consists of 1,000,000 coins, of which 8,000 coins outstanding (proof) condition arranged in trays, 5,000 coins brilliant uncirculated condition placed in capsules, 12,000 were placed in a year sets and 975,000 uncirculated coins in rolls of 25 pieces.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the island nation's rich history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the Cypriot goddess Aphrodite, while the reverse side features an image of a Phoenician ship, which reflects Cyprus's ancient maritime history and its role as a major trading hub in the eastern Mediterranean. The coin's bimetallic composition, with a nickel brass clad nickel center in a copper-nickel ring, adds to its distinctiveness and value among collectors.
