This is the second set of the series of Cyprus euro coin sets dedicated to the Religious Monuments of Cyprus.  

The second set presents the churches of Saint Lazaros in Larnaca, Saint Paraskevi in Geroskipou and Saints Barnabas and Hilarion in Peristerona which belong to the Byzantine period (330 AD – 1191 AD) and are significant monuments of Byzantine architecture. The last two churches are distinguished for being five domed.
