Comments
Emperor Maximilian initiated the last coinage from Verona. Venice ruled Verona before and after him, but did not have coins minted there. After the Venetian defeat in the Battle of Agnadello, French and German troops occupied Verona in early June 1509. Maximilian planned to build Verona into the center of his new possessions, which is supported by establishing a mint and the issue of coins with the inscription VERONA CIVITAS METROPOLIS. The peace treaties of Noyon and Brussels between the later Charles V and Francis I decided the fate of Verona: On December 14, 1516 Maximilian formally handed over the fortress to his grandson, King Charles of Spain. He was supposed to hand over the city to the French and they to the Venetians.
Maximilian issued six types: a Teston (1516), two types of Mezza Lira (½ testone, n.d.), a Sesino (n.d.) and two types of Bagattino (denaro, 1516 and n.d.).
