Comment
This coin type is nicknamed "rainbow cup" (Regenbogenschüsselchen) and refers to the belief that where a rainbow touched the earth, it left a treasure of gold.Interesting fact
The Vindelici Stater with deer is an ancient gold coin from the 2nd century BC, and one interesting fact about it is that it features a unique design of a deer on the obverse (front side), which is not commonly seen on ancient coins. This design element sets it apart from other coins of the time and makes it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
