[QUOTE="Aidan Work, post: 1703579, member: 1824"]Clinker,Cyprus is not only a member of the British Commonwealth like Malta is,it is also a member of the European Union. Cyprus is also known as 'Kypros' in the Greek Cypriot language. The coins of Cyprus is not an easy series to collect,especially the Piastres coins,which were issued at various times between 1879 & 1949.The same thing applies to the banknotes & postal orders.There is a British Field Post Office in Nicosia that has been issuing British Postal Orders. That medal-coin is from the first Archbishop Makarios III fundraising issue.The second Archbishop Makarios III issue was struck in 1974.It is in silver.Both issues are listed in Krause's 'Unusual World Coins' catalogue. Collecting Cypriot coins is part of my specialist area of numismatics.I finally picked up an example of the scarce 500 Mils that was issued in 1970 to commemorate 25 years of both the U.N. & F.A.O. I will be collecting the Cypriot Euro coins after Cyprus changes over to the Euro in either 2008 or 2009. Aidan.[/QUOTE]
