Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small, stylized rainbow-colored arc on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name "Regenbogenschüsselchen" (little rainbow cup) in German. This design element is not found on other coins of the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
