Printed to the lower left is a large numeral "1", which indicates the coin's face value of 1 cent. It is based on artwork from a piece of Bichrome ware from the Cypro-Archaic period (700–525 BC). The reverse, also designed by Zacharaki-Georgiou, features in its center a stylized bird facing right and perched on a tree branch. The date is larger on coins minted from 1991 to 2004 than on earlier pieces. It is inscribed counterclockwise in a smaller font at the bottom of the piece, flanked on both sides by a small circular point. The Gregorian date of minting occupies the remainder of the coin's boundary. Respectively written as "CYPRUS", "ΚΥΠΡΟΣ" (Romanized: Kýpros), and "KIBRIS", the names are separated from each other by small circular points. Printed next to the arms, extending in a clockwise direction from the coin's lower left to lower right peripheries, is the word "Cyprus" in English, Greek, and Turkish, the three most spoken languages in the island country. On later coins, however, the wreath and escutcheon are considerably smaller and the dove is illustrated with much less detail. On pieces dated 1983 to 1990, the branches of the wreath and escutcheon are large and touch one another, and the dove's features are more defined. Featured in the center is the coat of arms of Cyprus – which consists of a central escutcheon containing the date "1960" and a dove holding an olive branch in its mouth, enclosed within a wreath of olive branches. The obverse of the coin was designed by Clara Zacharaki-Georgiou, a Greek-born Cypriot artist. It has medallic alignment raised, undecorated rims and a plain edge, and is round in shape.

Due to its low purchasing power though, its use was already declining before its demonetization. However, with Cyprus' adoption of the euro on January 1, 2008, the coin was demonetized on January 31, 2008, but remained exchangeable until December 31, 2009. Initially, the 1 cent piece carried legal tender status in Cyprus (excluding Northern Cyprus) and the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, holding a nominal value of 0.01 pounds (lira).
