This extraordinary coin captures the essence of the armillary sphere, an ancient astronomical instrument that has fascinated scholars for centuries.

A Tribute to Astronomical Ingenuity

The armillary sphere, with its intricate design, showcases the grand circles of the heavens—the horizon, meridian, Equator, tropics, polar circles, and an encircling ecliptic hoop. This celestial globe, with the Earth at its centre, features degrees for angular measurements, reflecting the precision and elegance of 17th and 18th-century astronomical instruments.

Rich Historical Significance

Believed to have been invented independently in ancient China during the 4th century BC and ancient Greece during the 3rd century BC, the armillary sphere stands as a testament to human curiosity and scientific advancement. These splendid devices once graced the parlours of academics, suspended in the air, perched upon ornate stands, or held by an elegant handle.

Crafted with ultra-high relief and an antiqued finish, this 2oz silver coin is a true masterpiece, offering a unique tactile and visual experience. Its limited mintage of only 1500 pieces makes it a rare and valuable addition to any collection.
