Abstract

The author researches coins minted in Bosnian mints under the rule of Ottoman
Sultans, i.e. between 1550 and 1689, for the needs of military activities against the
Jajce Banovina. There is explanation of some earlier erroneous readings of the names
of mints and years of minting: the issue of the mints is resolved and their number is
reduced to only three, which worked for seven Sultans and minted gold coins, akche
(asper) and mangure. Inscriptions on coins and metrology is analysed and on this basis,
also using earlier solutions, the coins are systematised and the order in which the kinds
were minted is determined.
