The invention of the sundial and magnetic compass reflects mans earlier significant step toward civilisation.

Archaeological discoveries reveal that sundialshave been used in Babylon since the second Millennium B.C. Theprinciple of the sundial was to allow the movement of the shadow ofsunlight to reflect the time from sunrise to sunset. The Babyloniansdivided the imaginary circular path of the Sun into 12 equal parts onthe dial. Then, they prescribed a value of an hour to each of thosedial parts.

Discovered by the Chinese in 200 B.C., the magnetic compass is considered as the first documented self-registering instrument created by mankind that could be read using a precise scale.Noticing that the lodestones could point out real directions, theChinese designed the compass on a square slab, which had markings for the cardinal points and the constellations. The pointing needle was a lodestone spoon-shaped device, with a handle that would always point to the south. The two devices of the old days have turned into classic prized collectibles of the modern days.

In tribute to two of mans greatest inventions,QuestNet proudly presents the Time is Money Coin Set in its Advantage Collection - World issued by the Royal Monetary Authority of the Kingdom of Bhutan, which has a face value of 250 ngultrum. The sundial is featured in an attractive, elegant and accurate design while the compass features the magnetic pointing needle in its original form of a spoon with the handle pointed to the south. Coming together with the numismatic masterpieces are handsome collectibles worthy of a cherished family treasure.
