The Cyprus euro coins all have different designs with a common theme for each of the three types:
- the 1, 2 and 5 cent coins depict the mouflon, a characteristic animal of the island ;
- the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins depict the ship of Kyrenia, a town on the north coast symbolising the island's links with the sea;
- the 1 and 2 euro coins show the Idol of Pomos dating back to the Chalcolithic period.

Brillant Universel stands for Brilliant Uncirculated. These coins are minted with new tools to ensure superior quality. They are more highly polished than standard coins and have never been put into circulation.
