Cyprus 5 euro 150th Anniversary of Dimitris Lipertis PR69 PCGS silver coin 2016

Cyprus 5 Euro 2016, Republic of Cyprus, issued to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of Dimitris Lipertis (1866–1937), one of the most beloved Cypriot poets. Struck in silver and graded PR69DCAM by PCGS, this proof coin honors a literary figure whose works celebrated Cypriot identity, language, and rural life.

The obverse features a finely sculpted portrait of Dimitris Lipertis facing slightly right, with detailed beard, mustache, expressive eyes, and formal suit with tie. The €5 denomination appears beside the portrait, while a decorative Greek key border frames the design along the rim, accompanied by the poet’s name and dates. The reverse displays the coat of arms of Cyprus: a shield bearing a dove with outstretched wings holding an olive branch and the date 1960 below, encircled by laurel branches tied at the base. The inscriptions “KYPROS • KIBRIS” and the year 2016 complete the composition.

Certified PR69DCAM by PCGS, this silver proof coin offers deep mirrored fields and frosted relief. A refined tribute to Cypriot literature and national heritage, it is a distinguished addition to any collection of European commemorative coins.
