Competitive Set : CYPRUS, PIASTRE COINAGE 1879-1949, Complete Circulation Issues.
NGC Expert Comments:
Cyprus was one of the cradles of civilization. The owner of this set provides a good background history of both the island and its coinage as part of the British Empire. All issues of the piastre, including both its fractions and multiples, are included in this amazing collection. Each coin is illustrated, and a fact sheet is accompanied by the owner’s commentary on its rarity. Like all great NGC Registry Sets, this one serves as an encyclopedia of its subject.
