| Beschrijving voorzijde | Convex, dome-shaped obverse surface of the characteristic Regenbogenschüsselchen (rainbow cup) form, entirely devoid of figural or epigraphic decoration. The raised, irregularly rounded field exhibits a smooth, polished gold surface typical of Celtic electrum and gold staters of the Vindelici tribe, with natural flow lines and surface striations resulting from the hammering process. No legend, device, or mint mark is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Concave, bowl-shaped reverse field consistent with the Regenbogenschüsselchen type, entirely blank and uninscribed. The hollow interior displays characteristic hammer-struck surface texture with minor flow lines across the gold flan, devoid of any design elements, symbols, or lettering. The irregular flan edge reflects the hand-struck, pre-standardized production technique of Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Vindelici occupied a stretch of territory roughly between the Danube and the Alps, and their coinage — produced without a mint in any urban sense — was likely struck by itinerant craftsmen serving tribal needs. The "rainbow cup" designation comes from later German folklore: farmers plowing fields would occasionally turn up these tiny concave gold pieces after rainstorms, crediting them to rainbows rather than the Iron Age Celts who actually dropped them.
The Kostial 12 reference places this among the better-documented die groupings of a notoriously difficult series to attribute with precision.
