Cyprus Stamp Centenary Imperforate Miniature Sheet

Cyprus · 1980 · 50 Mils

This imperforate miniature sheet commemorates the centenary of the first postage stamps of Cyprus. It features a reproduction of the 1880 half-penny stamp depicting Queen Victoria, alongside the 50 Mils commemorative stamp for the anniversary. The design highlights the historical connection to British philately and celebrates a century of postal service on the island.

Issued in 1980, this sheet marks 100 years since Cyprus, then under British administration, first issued its own postage stamps in 1880, which were overprinted British stamps.
