The Cyprus 2012 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the tenth anniversary of the introduction of euro banknotes and coins into circulation. The design features a stylised human figure merging with the euro symbol, representing the integration of the currency into the daily lives of European citizens. This imagery highlights the transition from national currencies to a unified monetary system, symbolising the economic cohesion and shared future of the Eurozone member states. Surrounding the central motif are elements reflecting the global reach of the euro, including the European Central Bank and the ship representing trade. The national side also displays the name of the country in Greek and Turkish, alongside the years 2002 and 2012. This coin was issued in 2012 with a mintage of 975,000 pieces.
