Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean and the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean. Cyprus is a major tourist destination in the Mediterranean.
The Cypriot Pound, also known as the ‘Lira’ was the currency of Cyprus. After the decimalisation of the pound, it was sub-divided into 100 cents. The Cypriot pound was replaced by the euro on 1 January 2008.
Today we are looking at a 1 Pound banknote issued in 1982. The obverse has a Mosaic of Nymph Acme; and Cyprus map outline. The reverse depicts the Bellapais Abbey, an early 8th century ruined monastery near Kyrenia in Northern Cyprus. This brown note has Mouflon's head as its watermark.
