The Italian lira.
Italian coins of the period were struck to the Latin standard, which means it was fixed at roughly 5 Lira = US $1 during that era.
A 5 Lira coin was about the size andfineness of a US silver dollar.

it depends on what part of italy. italy was still in a city-state system at the time, it wasnt "italy" as we know it til fairly recently. the florin, out of florence, was the strongest monetatry unit from the 14th century on, however, there were also specific currencies for each city state including milan, venice (which i believe was the ducat?) and more.
