Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats - Wilhelm of Rosenberg 1585 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 may have been a deliberate choice made by the mint master or a royal decree. The presence of this shield adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin and makes it stand out among other coins from the same era.
