A set of eight scientific illustrations shows both sides of four different ancient coins, commonly known as Celtic "rainbow cups" (Regenbogenschüsselchen). The diagrams are organized into two rows: the top row labeled "concave side" and the bottom row labeled "convex side."

The first coin (labeled "Fig. 1." at the top and "I." at the bottom) is a plain, smooth dish.
The second coin (labeled "II.") features a cross or star symbol on the concave side and abstract textures on the convex side.
The third coin (labeled "III.") depicts a bird-like figure on the concave side and a crescent or snake-like motif on the convex side.
The fourth coin (labeled "IV.") shows abstract, face-like or celestial patterns on both sides.

June 17th, in the year of our Redeemer 1710.
