The standard 2 euro circulation coin from Cyprus features a design that reflects the island's ancient history and cultural heritage. 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 around 3000 BC. This iconic artefact, discovered in the village of Pomos, serves as a significant symbol of Cypriot identity and its deep-rooted connection to early Mediterranean civilisation. The design is flanked by the country’s name in both Greek and Turkish, alongside the year of issue, underscoring the bilingual nature of the nation. This standard issue was produced in 2022 with a total mintage of 3,755,000 pieces.
