An astrolabe is an ancient instrument used for solving problems related to time, astronomy, and navigation. During the medieval era, astrolabes were widely used in Europe for astrological purposes. However, by the mid-15th century, sailors adopted the device for navigation at sea. The pointer can be adjusted to indicate the positions of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars at a specific time and place. This tool provides insight into a time in history when humans were still attempting to understand the universe and the natural world.

The obverse portrays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II among depictions of many scientific, navigational, and astrological images including a telescope, the sun and moon, a compass, and more!

The reverse features a detailed depiction of an astrolabe.
