Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element known as the "Rainbow Bowl" or "Regenbogenschüsselchen" in German. This feature is a small, circular depression in the center of the coin's obverse (front) side, which gives the appearance of a rainbow-colored reflection when light hits it at a certain angle. This design element is a distinct characteristic of coins from the Vindelici region and is not found on coins from other regions.
