d) Cyprus Stamps SG 2024 EUROPA 2024 - “Fauna and Flora.”

Comprising of 2 stamps.
Available on Cyprus Stamps website as a set of 2 stamps MINT and/or CTO (USED) stamps, Full Sheets x 2 of 8 stamps (Mint) or Used (subject to availability), Booklet (different dimension than usual) and a Post Office Official First Day Cover.

Issue Information:
The underwater Fauna & Flora was the theme chosen by PostEurop for this year's issue of Europa stamps.

The seas of Cyprus are rich in fauna and flora.

The €0.34 stamp depicts algae. Algae are a large, multiphyletic class of unicellular or multicellular organisms of varying shapes and sizes. Microalgae are algae that are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, while some other species are visible to the naked eye and can reach several meters in length are called macroalgae.

The €0.64 stamp depicts the sea anemone. It belongs taxonomically to the anthozoa. There are several species of sea anemone of various colours, most of which are small in size (1.5 – 3 cm), although we can also encounter anemones with a much larger diameter. It owes its name to its overall appearance, which resembles a flower rather than a sea animal. Its body is almost cylindrical; its lower part is wider and with it rests upright and lives on all types of marine substrate, sand rocks, empty shells and macroalgae.

The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad and commonly referred to as Paris 2024, are scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in France. Paris serves as the main host city, along with 16 other cities spread across Metropolitan France, as well as one additional site in Tahiti.

All medal winners will be invited to meet and celebrate with thousands of fans at Trocadero, in the heart of Paris.

The Olympic Games logo features Marianne, a national symbol representing the French Revolution’s motto of ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.’ The golden hair draws inspiration from the Olympic medals, while the hairstyle itself evokes the Olympic flame.
The Olympic mascot takes the form of a Phrygian cap – a symbol of freedom throughout French history.

Sport climbing will be one of the four additional sports at Paris 2024, alongside breaking (making its Olympic debut), surfing and skateboarding. Skateboarding will take place at the Place de la Concorde in the heart of the French capital.
