The standard 2 euro circulation coin from Cyprus features a design deeply rooted in 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, found near the village of Pomos, serves as a powerful symbol of Cypriot civilisation and its enduring connection to the Mediterranean past. The design is flanked by the country’s name in both Greek and Turkish, reflecting the bilingual nature of the nation, alongside the year of issue. This motif has remained a consistent emblem on the Cypriot euro coinage since the country adopted the currency. The 2024 issue has a mintage of 100,000 pieces.
