The 2023 Cyprus 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Central Bank of Cyprus. The national side features a central motif depicting the bank’s emblem, which is inspired by an ancient Cypriot coin dating back to the 4th century BC. This historical imagery highlights the island's long-standing tradition of currency and economic governance. By incorporating this ancient design, the coin bridges the gap between Cyprus's rich archaeological heritage and its modern role within the Eurosystem. The surrounding inscription details the name of the institution and the anniversary year, reflecting the bank's commitment to stability and financial sovereignty since its establishment in 1963. This issue was produced in 2023 with a mintage of 400,000 coins.
