Comment
Regenbogenschüsselchen typeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element known as the "Rainbow Bowl" (Regenbogenschüsselchen in German), which gives the coin its name. The Rainbow Bowl is a small, circular depression in the center of the coin's obverse (front) side, surrounded by a raised rim. This feature was used to create a colorful effect when the coin was held at a certain angle, with the light reflecting off the rim and creating a rainbow-like appearance. This design element is a distinctive characteristic of coins from the Vindelici region and is not found on coins from other regions.
