Cyprus

29th April 1974 - "Sculpture"
design : unknown
printer: unknown

Cyprus Post has selected only one design to appear on its three stamps (10 ; 40 & 150 Cypriot mils).

​

It is not strictly speaking a sculpture but an ancient coin.

​

A 4th-century BC Cypriot coin of the Kingdom of Marion depicting the rape of Europe by Zeus transfigured into a bull, the inscription "King Timocharis" in Cypriot syllabary.

What better way to illustrate a Europa stamp than with Europe!

This coin also appeared on the Cypriot 50 cent coin in use until Cyprus adopted the euro in 2008.
