It could be the "Florin", minted in Florence, which was a centre of commerce in Italy during the time of Shakespeare.

However, it is more likely to be the "Ducat", a coin minted in Venice and named for the Duke of Venice. Verona is very close to Venice.

Actually there is no such thing as "in the time of Romeo and Juliet", since it is a fiction and there is no time specified in the text. In the Baz Luhrmann film, the time of Romeo and Juliet is the late 20th century and Verona is in California. For the purposes of that film, the currency in the time of Romeo and Juliet is the US Dollar.
