Cyprus 1988 Definitive - Map of Cyprus Watermark

Cyprus · 1988 ·

This stamp is part of the 1988 definitive series of Cyprus. The series is notable for its specific watermark, which features a map of the island of Cyprus along with the initials 'KC' (Kypriaki Dimokratia) in both Latin and Greek alphabets, repeated across the paper. The design itself would typically feature Cypriot culture, history, or nature, common for definitive issues of the period.

Issued in the late 1980s, this definitive series was used for everyday postage in the Republic of Cyprus during a period of relative stability and economic growth, well after the 1974 division of the island.
