Aleksandar N. Brzić, Hallmarking of Gold Coinage in Serbia and Yugoslavia 1882–1941(Schriften der Österreichischen Forschungsgesellschaft für Numismatik, Band 1)Wien 2024ISBN 978-3-9504268-7-8248 S./pp.,  zahlr. Abb./num. figs., 30 x 21,5 cm; kartoniert/hardcover Between 1882 and 1941, Kingdoms of Serbia and Yugoslavia hallmarked a great amount of gold coinage. This somewhat peculiar practice was regulated by law and executed by state offices using several hallmarks, some of which are properly documented and presented here for the first time. The author describes not only the development of the hallmarking practice itself, but also its historic and ethnographic backgrounds, in particular the use of gold ducats in the ethnic jewellery of the region. Based mainly on his former collection, fully presented here in high-quality colour photographs, this book, again for the first time, provides a full catalogue of all hallmarks used in different assay offices and all hallmarked gold coins known to the author.
