CENTRAL EUROPE. Vindelici. 2nd-1st century BC. Stater (Gold, 19 mm, 7.55 g, 12 h), 'Regenbogenschüsselchen, Dreipunktblume/Kreuz' type. Large pellet, connected by three lines to three smaller pellets, giving the impression of a stylized flower. Rev. Four-pointed star; all within cup-shaped incuse. Dembski -. Flesche -. Kellner, Manching, type V E, pl. 57, 2130. Künker 243 (2013), 4402. SLM 1086. Of the highest rarity, one of a very few known examples. Struck from somewhat worn dies and with areas of weakness and faint scratches, otherwise, very fine.



The absence of this type from the Flesche collection, which has been built over decades, vividly demonstrates its rarity. It is among the greatest rarities in the coinage of the Vindelici.
