| 背面描述 | The concave reverse displays a group of six raised pellets arranged within a torque or ring motif, a hallmark device of Vindelici quarter-stater coinage. The pellets are distributed in an asymmetric cluster — one at the top, two in the middle row, and three along the lower register — all enclosed by the sinuous curved line of the surrounding torque. The deeply concave fabric of the flan is typical of the Regenbogenschüsselchen series. No legend or inscription appears on this face. |

The Vindelici occupied what is now southern Bavaria and parts of Austria, and their coinage — including this fractional stater — circulated widely across the Celtic oppidum network that stretched from the Danube to the Alps. The "rainbow cup" designation comes from post-medieval Bavarian farmers who found these convex gold pieces in their fields after rain, believing them to be solidified fragments of rainbows.
The specific Kostial 6 reference places this among the earlier die studies of the type. Hoards like those from Großbissendorf have helped establish the chronology of Vindelician fractions, though precise dating within the two-century production window remains contested.
