Compass Rose 2009 Geocoin
The 2009 Compass Rose Geocoin™ design comes from a mid 1600s Portuguese map of Brazil. It is made with translucent colors and multiple angles in the background. The names of each wind direction encircle the compass rose representing the cardinal and ordinal directions. You can interpret the direction names at the 5th Anniversary Compass Rose Geocoin™ page.
The backside image is an armillary sphere. Armillary spheres were developed a few hundred years before the birth of Christ, modified several times as new discoveries were made, and used until the late 1700s. Earlier models have the earth placed at the center of the universe, and then later models reflect the sun in the center of the universe. They were used for navigation, but not as effective as other methods. In addition, they also helped to understand the heavens. They were great at measuring distances in the heavens and tracking movements of planets, comets, and other objects. But notably related to our special coins, they were used extensively for training navigators. The armillary sphere design on this coin is from the same era of the compass rose used on the front side.

Text by Team van Stoffelen:
Rembrandt, son of Harmen van Rijn was born July 15, 1606 in Leiden. Having achieved youthful success as a portrait painter, his later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardship. His drawings and paintings were popular throughout his lifetime and his reputation as an artist remained high.
The Night Watch is the common name of one of his most famous works of this Dutch master and is more properly titled The Militia Company of Frans Banning Cocq. It is on prominent display in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Rembrandt died October 4, 1669 in Amsterdam and outlived his wife and son. He was buried in a unmarked grave in the Westerkerk (Western Church) in Amsterdam. Het became on of the most prominent icons of the Dutch Golden Age.
