What does SCUDO mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A former silver coin used in Italy and other parts of Europe, especially before the adoption of the euro.
The scudo circulated for centuries across several Italian states, each minting its own version with different weights and designs. It took its name from an old word for shield, since early coins of this kind carried a shield emblem. Collectors and historians still encounter the scudo in accounts of old European currency and in coin collections, though it has not been legal tender for a very long time. Its plural, scudi, appears in the same historical and numismatic contexts.
