2023 Cook Islands 2 Oz Historic Instruments Astrolabe High Relief Silver Coin NGC 70 FIRT RELEASES

For as long as humans have walked the earth they have looked to the sky for divine guidance. And for thousands of years, people have used the stars to determine where they are and where they’re going. One of the first instruments to calculate this was the Astrolable, an ancient astronomical instrument that was a handheld model of the universe used for determining latitude on land or calm seas. The Astrolable once again sees the light of day thanks to this intricately designed coin from Germany’s world-renowned Mayer Mint that represents the first release in its Historical Instruments series.
