Cyprus flag sale: the whole history and characteristics of the Cypriot emblem

Among all flags, the Cypriot flag consists of a white background on which is represented the island of Cyprus with two olive branches below. It is one of the symbols of the Republic of Cyprus, a Mediterranean island that has also been a member country of the European Union since 2004.

Did you know that the Cypriot flag is one of the only flags in the world to be adorned with the design of its geographical map? The other rare flag in this case is the brand new Kosovo flag! The flag of Cyprus was made official in 1960, when the island became independent from the United Kingdom.

It was designed by a painter according to very strict rules of a drawing competition launched in 1960: for the sake of neutrality, the Cypriot flag should not be composed of blue or red colours, nor of a Latin cross (Christian choice) or a Muslim crescent according to the standards imposed by the Cypriot constitution.

The design of the flag represents the Mediterranean Sea with the colour white (in Turkish, the word Mediterranean "Ak Deniz" literally means the white sea), with the copper-coloured map of the island of Cyprus which represents the copper mineral wealth of the island exploited since antiquity. It is the chalcopyrite, the famous yellow copper also known as mad gold, a mineral species that contains 35% copper that gave its name to the island of Cyprus. The two olive branches of olive trees of olive-green colour under the map of the island represent symbols of peace between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. They express the desire that these two communities can one day live in real harmony.

It was therefore this Cypriot banner of the painter Ismet Güney that expressed all the hope of the new Cypriot nation that was favoured by the President Makarios III and Prime Minister. The flag of the country of Cyprus is currently the national vexillary emblem which is used on land and at sea as a national land flag and nautical flag on all Cypriot vessels.
