This is the forth in the series of Cyprus euro coin sets dedicated to the mosaics of Paphos, which are included in UNESCO's World Heritage List.
These mosaics decorated the floors of the houses of wealth residents in the Roman period in Cyprus (58 BC-330 AD) . They depict themes mainly from Greek mythology. The figures most prominently depicted on the mosaic floors have given their names to the house remains - House of Dionysos, House of Aion, Villa of Theseus and the House of Orpheus.
The Official Blister 2013 contains the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins and 1, 2 euros (unc), presented in a three - ply brochure placed in a sleeve. |
