    Comments......... Astrolabe on the front. One of the earliest scientific instruments - able to measure the time of day or night and altitude and latitude. Conceived by the Greeks, it was further developed by medieval Arab astronomers, who used it to help determine the time for fasting during the month of Ramadan. The Spiral Minaret in Samarra on reverse. Built in 848-849 Ad, Samarra was then the Abbasid Empire's capital city. Unknown Chinese firm printed this note. Image is not exact note in lot.
