Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Denaro - Anonymous ND (1259-1308) from City of Verona (Italian States) made of Billon (.220 silver) weighing 0.29 g is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was minted during the reign of Mastino II della Scala, who was a powerful lord in Verona and ruled the city from 1259 to 1308. During his reign, Mastino II introduced a new currency system, which included the Denaro, to replace the older denomination of the Veronese lira. This coin was an important part of that new system and was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
