Interesting fact

The 5 Cents coin from Cyprus, which was minted between 1985 and 1990, features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin bears the image of a mouflon, which is a species of wild sheep that is native to the island of Cyprus. The mouflon is depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by trees and hills, and is shown in a majestic pose, as if it is roaming freely in the Cypriot countryside. This design was chosen to represent the natural beauty and wildlife of Cyprus, and it has become a distinctive feature of the country's coinage.
