funny hows there's a fucking cross on the coins but no other religious symbols, cause all people that live in Cyprus are christian right???

Are you stupid? The Idol of Pomos is from 30th century BC.

I don't think displaying religious symbols was the idea when designing the coins..

The symbol on the above €1 and €2 coins is The Idol of Pomos, a cross-shaped idol dating back to the Cypriot chalcolithic period (3000 B.C.), found in Pomos, a village in the district of Paphos. It is a characteristic example of prehistoric art in Cyprus, representing the island’s antiquity, culture and civilization.

some more new coins


1 cent, 2 cent and 5 cent: The Mouflon, the most characteristic species of fauna in Cyprus, representing the island's nature and wildlife



10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent: The Kyrenia ship of 4th Century B.C., representing Cyprus's history and its character as an island as well as its importance in trade.

Thank you for repeating me iceman. Maybe bigAl will believe you.

Big Al is limited in his knowledge and presumes that the cross is exclusively Christian and was invented by Christians. A closed mind.
