The standard 2 euro circulation coin from Cyprus features a design rooted in the island's ancient history, specifically referencing the Chalcolithic period. At the centre of the national side is a depiction of the Pomos Idol, a cruciform figurine dating back to approximately 3000 BC. This iconic sculpture, found in the village of Pomos, serves as a significant symbol of prehistoric Cypriot art and cultural heritage. The design is flanked by the country’s name in both Greek and Turkish, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the nation, alongside the year of issue. By incorporating this ancient artefact into its modern currency, Cyprus highlights its deep historical connection to the Mediterranean civilisation. The 2021 standard issue coin has a mintage of 3,000,000 pieces.
