Sreckovic, Slobodan, Akches (Volume Four): Selim II Sari - Murad III, 974-1003 AH, Belgrade, 2005, 163 pages, softcover, English text. The fourth and probably most important of volume of the author’s magnificent treatment of Ottoman akches. This volume covers the reigns of the two sultans who followed Sulayman I. The coinage is usually poorly struck, holed and difficult to read. Slobodan has done his usual painstakingly thorough job of organizing these two difficult reigns into a useful corpus and catalogue. We should all be grateful for his efforts. The production is as impressive as the earlier three volumes. It contains his usual detailed line drawings not just of types, but also of die varieties. There are enlarged photos of many coins, most from the author’s own collection.
