Cyprus 1 pound Refugee KM-46a Turkish Invasion PR 67 PCGS silver coin 1976

The 1976 Cyprus 1 Pound silver coin is a deeply symbolic issue dedicated to the humanitarian tragedy following the events of 1974, when many families were displaced and became refugees.

Below, the inscriptions “Cyprus 1976” and multilingual country name inscriptions emphasize national identity and unity. The date “1960” within the emblem recalls the year of independence.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish and certified PR67 by PCGS, this coin stands out for both its artistic depth and historical meaning. A significant collectible for those interested in political history, humanitarian themes, and meaningful numismatic art.
