Cyprus 1 pound Endangered Wildlife Cyprus Wheatear Bird Fauna CuNi coin 2000

Cyprus 1 Pound 2000, Republic of Cyprus, Endangered Wildlife series, dedicated to the Cyprus Wheatear – a rare migratory bird and one of the island’s natural symbols. Struck in copper-nickel, this coin beautifully captures the fragile charm of local fauna and highlights Cyprus’ commitment to environmental awareness.

The obverse presents a finely detailed Cyprus Wheatear perched on a slender branch with elongated leaves and a small bud. The bird’s sharp beak, rounded eye, layered feathers, textured wing, and tail are carefully engraved against a diagonally divided background, with a large numeral “1” above. The reverse displays the national coat of arms: a shield with a dove holding an olive branch, the date 1960 below, framed by two laurel branches tied at the base. The inscriptions “KYPROS • KIBRIS” and the year 2000 encircle the design.

Issued as part of a wildlife-themed program, this 1 pound coin in CuNi composition combines artistic engraving with cultural symbolism. A meaningful collectible for lovers of birds, fauna themes, and Cypriot history, it is an excellent addition to any world coin collection.
