Cyprus and its Euro coins

Cyprus, an island jewel in the Mediterranean, joined the euro zone a little later than other members, introducing the euro as its official currency on January 1, 2008. Replacing the Cyprus pound, the euro came to symbolize a new chapter for the island. The designs on Cypriot euro coins reflect Cyprus' rich historical and cultural heritage.

1 to 5 cent coins: These coins feature the mouflon sheep, an emblematic symbol of Cypriot fauna and a reminder of the island's rich biodiversity.

10 to 50 centime coins: They feature the image of the Kyrenia ship, an ancient merchant vessel found as a wreck and bearing witness to the island's ancient maritime history.

1 and 2 Euro coins: These feature a Copper Age cross idol, a symbol of Cyprus' archaeological heritage. Surrounding the coin are the 12 stars of the European flag.

The designs of Cypriot euro coins are not simply aesthetic; they tell a story, that of an island with an ancient heritage and an important place in the Mediterranean basin. These coins are both an everyday tool for transactions and a mirror of Cyprus' traditions and culture.

In this section, you'll find all the euro coins issued since Cyprus adopted the euro in 2008(BU, BE, 2 Euro Commemorative Cyprus, etc.).All our products come from official issuing institutes, guaranteeing their authenticity.
