Comment

This is a special New year token. It is used in tradition to bake a coin in a cake during New year holidays. Usually it has gold color and images similar to a gold Great Britain sovereign - the common gold coin in Cyprus.

This token differs from usual by:
- metal, it is not of gold color;
- style, it does not have date on Rev.
The token 1972 is of gold color again, though it does not have date on Rev. too. Right now most probably by mistake 1972 is in article with two dates type https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia42463.html.
