CYPRUS, 1977 ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS III SET - GOLD 50 POUNDS. Cyprus, an independent Republic since 1960, became a member of the British Commonwealth in 1961 and a member of the European Union in 2004. It is an island situated in the north-eastern corner of the Mediterranean. With an area of 3,572 square miles, it is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and has a population of over 800,000 of whom the 80% are Greeks and 20% Turks. Should there be any wonder why Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, made her home on this island? As Homer affirms in the Odyssey, " laughter-loving Aphrodite went to Cyprus where is her realm and fragrant altar ". Cyprus had an ancient civilization, and a coinage, emulating that of the ancient Greek world, made its appearance back in 568 B.C. Because of its strategic position and wealth Cyprus was coveted by all those countries who wanted to exercise power in the Eastern Mediterranean. Throughout its long history, Cyprus formed part of the Empires of Assyria, Egypt, Persia, Rome and Byzantium. In 1193 A.D. Cyprus became part of the Frankish Kingdom of the Lusignans who ruled the Island until 1489 when it was passed over to Venice as a dependency. In 1571 Cyprus was conquered by the Turks who finally handed it over to England in 1878. The British rule lasted until 1960 when Cyprus became an Independent Republic. Archbishop Makarios III became the first President of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960, and was well known as been one of the great leaders of the 20th century. He remained President of the Republic until 1977 when he died. In memory of the Archbishop the Central Bank of Cyprus issued these two coins in UNC and PF. The designer was the Greek sculptor B.Phalireas. Both coins were minted at the London Royal Mint. 阅读全文
