Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a stylized rainbow-colored arc, which gives the coin its name "Regenbogenschüsselchen" (meaning "little rainbow cup" in German). This design was used to symbolize the unity and diversity of the Vindelici people, who were known for their skilled metalworking and artistic craftsmanship.
