Verona had been absorbed into the Visconti dominion in 1387 when Gian Galeazzo purchased the city from his own condottiere Gian Bernabò — a transaction that was less a sale than a surrender. The sesino was struck during the years when Gian Galeazzo held the ducal title freshly granted by Emperor Wenceslaus in 1395, and Verona's mint was producing fractional billon coinage under that authority through to his death from plague in 1402, which abruptly ended the brief consolidation of northern Italy he had spent three decades engineering.
