Comment

Saccoci (1988) and MEC XII (p.660-661) place this denaro type with the uncial E in the second part of the reign on Alberto and Mastino, whereas CNI places it earlier in the era of the Scaligeri lords..

Interesting fact

The 1 Denaro coin from the City of Verona (Italian States) made of Billon and weighing 0.3g is interesting because it features a unique combination of two rulers, Albert II and Mastino II, who co-ruled the city during a time of political turmoil in the 14th century. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during their joint reign, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
