Description:
Unusual talent shaped coin. Early Cyprus coins were made of copper and shaped like a cows hide, to represent the value of a cow, their previous monetary system.

Comment: Unfortunately the Omnicoin resizing has altered the aspect ratio which is actually almost 2:1, and made the coin appear too square. The original images are available on our www.24carat.co.uk website.
