Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1928 Cyprus 45 Piastres coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and transition for the island nation. Cyprus was a British colony at the time, and the coin features an image of King George V, who reigned over the British Empire from 1910 to 1936. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the British Royal Mint, and it was issued to commemorate the 45th anniversary of George V's reign. Despite being a circulating coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted.
