    摘要: A pharmaceutical container may include a cylindrical hollow container body (100) defining a hollow chamber (111) to receive a pharmaceutical liquid, the container body (100) including a portion on a sidewall (121) of the container body (100), wherein the portion has a longitudinal extension along the longitudinal axis of the container body (100) and a circumferential extension along the circumference of the container body (100), thereby forming a window (122) through the sidewall (121) of the container body (100) into the hollow chamber (111), the window (122) comprising two long edges (124) and two short edges (125), and a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna (110) arranged on the outer surface (120) of the sidewall (121) of the container, the antenna (110) including one or a plurality of nested antenna windings (150), each of them surrounding an interior periphery (140) including a substantially longitudinal portion (141) arranged along the two long edges (124) of the window (122), and a substantially circumferential portion (142) arranged mainly around the sidewall (121) of the container body (100) and at least partially along a first one of the two short edges (125) of the window (122) opposite to a second one of the two short edges (125) of the window (122).
