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, rounded depression in the center of the coin's obverse (front) side, which gives the appearance of a rainbow-colored arc when viewed at certain angles. The inclusion of this design element has led numismatists to speculate that the coin may have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes, as it is reminiscent of ancient rituals involving the use of rainbow-colored fabrics or objects.
