1 Soldo - Bartholomew & Anthony

Issued during the joint rule of Bartholomew II and Anthony della Scala, this coin falls within a turbulent period for the Scaligeri dynasty. The brothers inherited Verona and Vicenza following the death of Cansignorio in 1375, but their co-lordship was brief and violent — Anthony had Bartholomew murdered in 1381, and was himself ousted by Gian Galeazzo Visconti just seven years later, ending Scaligeri rule over Verona entirely. The six-year window this piece could have been struck narrows further when political disruptions are accounted for.
