The Cyprus 2 euro standard circulation coin features a design that reflects the island's ancient cultural heritage and its historical significance in the Mediterranean. At the centre of the national side is a depiction of the Pomos Idol, a prehistoric cruciform figurine dating back to the Chalcolithic period, specifically from the third millennium BC. This iconic artefact, discovered near the village of Pomos, serves as a profound symbol of Cypriot identity and the country's deep-rooted connection to early human civilisation. The design is flanked by the name of the country in both Greek and Turkish, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the nation. This standard issue was minted in 2014 with a total mintage of 100,000 pieces.
