A retired NASA agent revealed in September 2009 that the Apollo 17 wooden commemorative plaque with the goodwill Moon rock intended for the Republic of Cyprus went for sale on the black market in 2003. The international mystery of how the Cyprus goodwill Moon rock got to the black market begins in 1960. The Republic of Cyprus then became independent from British control. The residence of the British Governor of Cyprus prior to this was the Government House. The Government House then became the Presidential Palace of the Republic of Cyprus. During a coup of 1974 the Presidential Palace was burned to the ground. The Cyprus "Moon rock" plaque from Apollo 17 was considered lost at that time.
