EARLY MEDIEVAL AND ISLAMIC. Akches, Volume One, Orhan Gazi to Murad II, 699-848 AH by Slobodan Sreckovic, published in Belgrade in 1999, is the first volume in the author?s ambitious multi-volume study of Ottoman akche coinage and represents one of the most dedicated modern works on the early Ottoman silver series. Written in English and extending to 190 pages in softcover, the book presents a detailed treatment of the coinage from Orhan Gazi through Murad II, including not only the main types but also a remarkable range of die varieties, supported by the author?s characteristic line drawings and enlarged photographs, many from his own collection. Particularly valuable for collectors and researchers of early Ottoman and related Anatolian coinages, the volume reflects a lifetime of specialised study and stands as an important, practical, and increasingly desirable reference for the specialist numismatic library.
