Abstract

The article gives an overview of European monetary and economic history and shows links between known monetary activities in medieval Bosnia, a land on the fringes of Europe, and the monetary and economic currents in its wider surroundings. Medieval Bosnian coins show the historical development of the Bosnian state. They also reflect monetary and economic currents and events in the Mediterranean and Pannonia. For centuries before Bosnian coins appeared in the early 14th century, Bosnian territory echoed general European monetary trends. After examining the monetary standards that were brought to Bosnia from Europe, the author writes about coins minted in the third quarter of the 12th century by Bela III as King of Rama; he gives a precise periodization of Bosnian coins minted in the 14th and 15th centuries, and even the 16th century; he discusses the iconography, metrology and inscriptions of coins minted before 1353 during the reign of the Šubić Bribirski family and Ban Stjepan II Kotromanić.
