Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, Albert II and Mastino II, who co-ruled the City of Verona during a time of political instability 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 interested in the history of the Italian States.
