About this banknote
The Central Bank of Cyprus issued this 500 mils banknote in 1975. This issuance followed the economic adjustments after the division of Cyprus in 1974. The banknote was introduced to establish a stable currency in the Greek-controlled areas of the island.
The front side features a rosette and the Cyprus emblem, along with inscriptions in Greek and Turkish. The back side depicts a serene landscape with trees and mountains. Designed in green on a multicolor underprint, this note, classified as Pick 42, was printed without an imprint by the British American Banknote Company (BWC).
