| Beschrijving keerzijde | The deeply concave reverse displays a central arrangement of five raised pellets disposed in a quincunx or clustered pattern, all contained within a raised torc-like circular border. The design is characteristic of the abstract geometric style employed by Vindelici Celtic die-cutters, with the pellets serving as the principal decorative and symbolic motif. The hammered flan exhibits the pronounced bowl-shaped curvature diagnostic of the Regenbogenschüsselchen denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Vindelici occupied the region between the Danube and the Alps — roughly modern Bavaria — and their coinage circulated across a territory Rome had not yet subdued. The "rainbow cup" name is entirely modern, a 19th-century German folk attribution: farmers plowing fields after storms found these small concave coins and assumed they marked spots where rainbows had touched ground.
The deliberate concavity is functionally unexplained. No Celtic technical necessity demands it, and no Greek prototype shares the form.
