| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central triskeles motif with pellets at the terminals of each arm, rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition. The triskeles is depicted in high relief against a concave flan, with the three sweeping arms radiating from a central pellet-in-annulet. Encircling the entire design is a stylised wreath of interlocking leaves, forming a decorative border around the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A pyramidal arrangement of eight pellet-in-annulet symbols disposed in three rows — one at apex, two in the middle row, and three along the base — all contained within a twisted or rope-like torque border encircling the concave field. The pellet-in-annulet motifs are uniformly struck in high relief, and the torque border exhibits the characteristic knotted or beaded texture typical of Vindelician Regenbogenschüsselchen coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Regenbogenschüsselchen — "rainbow cups" — earned their name from the folk belief that they materialized at the spots where rainbows touched the ground. Bavarian farmers turned them up for centuries before antiquarians recognized them as Celtic coinage. The Vindelici, settled between the Danube and the Alps, produced several distinct die groups within this family, and the Type IX B North Group represents one of the more geographically specific attributions, linked to production centers north of the main Alpine foothills.
Electrum alloy composition varies considerably across specimens, suggesting multiple smelting batches rather than a controlled mint output. Julius Caesar's campaigns into Gaul in the 50s BC accelerated the collapse of Celtic coinage traditions across the region; issues like this one were effectively obsolete within a generation of his campaigns reaching the Rhine.
