Title A name given to the resource Stater of Lapithos, Ancient Coins of Cyprus Thematic Issue, Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource Man, having the need to find the necessities for his survival established the barter system of trade whereby he exchanged what was surplus to his needs with what he required. Exchanges of this kind had however their problems. The demand existed but it was necessary to have the required goods of equal value at the same time that the exchange was to take place.The first striking of coins was in Ionia and perhaps in Lydia towards the end of the 7th or 6th century B.C. The idea appears to be Greek and not Lydian as some suggest. It is certain however that the development of coinage was the creation of greek intellect. The amazing ability of the ancient Greeks to create beautifully even the most insignificant objects in daily use, gave the coin-engravers the incentive to create truly pieces of art in the form of coins.he value of coins is determined by the weight of the metal from which a coin is made. All countries had coins of specific weight with the result that no exchange problems arose. This system remained in force until the 20th century. All the developed countries had gold pound coins of eight grams and silver coins the size of a dollar. These formed the basis of the trade. The word dollar derives from the German word "Thaler" used for the silver coin of the same size, and it derives from the word "Talanton"and "talandefsi" which was the method used for the accurate determination of the coin’s weight in ancient times. In Cyprus coins were struck towards the 5th century B.C. and Cyprus coins appear on the 1928, 1955, 1972 and 1977 commemorative issues.

The demand existed but it was necessary to have the required goods of equal value at the same time that the exchange was to take place.The first striking of coins was in Ionia and perhaps in Lydia towards the end of the 7th or 6th century B.C. The idea appears to be Greek and not Lydian as some suggest. It is certain however that the development of coinage was the creation of greek intellect. The amazing ability of the ancient Greeks to create beautifully even the most insignificant objects in daily use, gave the coin-engravers the incentive to create truly pieces of art in the form of coins.he value of coins is determined by the weight of the metal from which a coin is made. All countries had coins of specific weight with the result that no exchange problems arose. This system remained in force until the 20th century. All the developed countries had gold pound coins of eight grams and silver coins the size of a dollar. These formed the basis of the trade. The word dollar derives from the German word "Thaler" used for the silver coin of the same size, and it derives from the word "Talanton"and "talandefsi" which was the method used for the accurate determination of the coin’s weight in ancient times. In Cyprus coins were struck towards the 5th century B.C. and Cyprus coins appear on the 1928, 1955, 1972 and 1977 commemorative issues.

When the Saracen ships were approaching a deserted shore of the island, Dighenis saw them from the top of the hill and threw a huge boulder at them. Many Saracen ships were destroyed and the disembarkation was abandoned. Since then this rock has been known as "Petra tou Romiou" , as the Saracens referred to Dighenis as "Roman". Roman's Rock can be seen on the 20mils stamp of the 1955 definitive set. In Cyprus the legends of Dighenis did not remain in the Akritan Cycle, but merged with the ancient glorifications of the Goddess Aphrodite, who in the person of a beautiful young Queen possessed all, the island, her palaces and a hundred houses. This queen asked Dighenis to fetch water to her palaces and houses; Dighenis brought the water by means of a stone built channel. But the queen rejected him and in her anger threw at him her spindle, which missed and turned into a granite column as it fell in the fields of lower Paphos where it can still be seen today.
