Obverse
The design shows the ‘Paphos Ancient Odeon’, a small amphiteatre dating back to the 2nd century AD.

The issuing country’s name ‘ΚΥΠΡΟΣ KIBRIS’ and the phrase ‘Πάφος 2017 – Πολιτιστική Πρωτεύουσα της Ευρώπης’ (i.e. Paphos 2017 – European Capital of Culture) are inscribed on the inner part of the national side of the coin.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
