These pieces were struck in Birmingham, England and previously the grading services agreed to grade and slab them as they were not made in Cuba. So if you want to have them graded and slabbed you should be able to do that but at your expense. Please remember we do not sell anything as an investment, but we think that within a couple of years they may well have sold out and will cost more.

The mintage was just 80,000 coins and it has always been Scarce. We managed to buy a group from a jeweller who accumulated them over many years. So we can offer them to you at prices you would usually expect for a dealer to pay. We can even offer this important type coin in two grades Very Fine and Extremely Fine and remember our grading is very strict.

In 1901 Britain decided to issue its first silver coins in Cyprus since its takeover of the island in 1878.

These coins remained in circulation for many years, but we can now offer you them in Very Good condition.
