Grosso 'Aquilino' - Ulrich of Pfannberg

Ulrich of Pfannberg governed Padua as imperial vicar for barely two years before the Carrara family's ascent reshaped the city's political allegiances entirely. His coinage is among the rarest of the northern Italian signorie issues precisely because the window of production was so narrow — a lordship that changed hands left little incentive to preserve the outgoing ruler's money.

The "Aquilino" type takes its name from the eagle motif borrowed from Veronese grosso traditions, a deliberate visual alignment with Scaligeri prestige during a period when Padua's loyalties were being actively contested.
