Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Petr Vok of Rosenberg 1592 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Rosenberg family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on this particular coin has led numismatists to believe that it may have been added to signify the coin's connection to the Rosenberg dominion.
