| Additional information |
Ascoli's coinage during this period was issued under the brief lordship of the Carrara family, whose main power base was Padua — by 1414, a dynasty already broken. Francesco II Novello da Carrara had been strangled in a Venetian prison in 1406, ending Paduan Carrara rule entirely. The Ascoli branch clung to a minor signoria for a few years more, striking coins in a city that had passed between papal, Visconti, and local hands repeatedly across the preceding century.
The CNI reference places this among a thin run of attributions, reflecting how little documentation survives for Ascoli's mint output in these transitional years.
