Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a rainbow-colored arc on the reverse side, which is where it gets its name "Regenbogenschüsselchen" or "little rainbow pot" in English. This design was used to symbolize the unity and diversity of the Vindelici people, and it's a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of its time.
