Depicts two Cyprus mouflons (Ovis orientalis ophion), date and country name in Greek and Turkish above, surrounded by the 12 stars of the European Union.

Cyprus mouflon is a species of wild sheep and representative of the island’s wildlife. Many ancient vases and other pieces of pottery depict the mouflon. The tradition continues to this day for it to be used as one of the symbols of Cyprus. Logos and insignia of mouflon appear on stamps, coins, company logos and banknotes to represent Cyprus.

Engravers: Tatiana Sotiropoulou and Erik Maell
