About this banknote
The Government of Cyprus issued the 5 shilling banknote in 1942. This was part of a wartime issue, as Cyprus was a British colony during World War II. The notes were introduced due to increased demand for currency caused by the war efforts and economic conditions at that time.
The front of the banknote features a portrait of King George VI, with intricate blue and brown patterns surrounding it. There are inscriptions in English, Greek, and Arabic denoting the denomination. The reverse side displays an ornate design with the inscription "Government of Cyprus." This banknote is cataloged as Pick number 22.
