Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1955 Cyprus 25 Mils coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a crown or a coat of arms, the coin features a representation of the island of Cyprus, with two palm trees and a ship in the background. This design was meant to symbolize the island's rich history and its connection to the sea.
