Between 1882 and 1941, Kingdoms of Serbia and Yugoslavia hallmarked a large amount of gold coinage. This somewhat peculiar practice was regulated by law and executed by state offices using several hallmarks, some of which are documented properly and presented here for the first time. The author describes not only the development of the hallmarking practice itself, but also its historical and ethnographic backgrounds, in particular the use of gold ducats in the ethnic jewelry of the region. Based mainly on his former collection, fully presented here in high-quality color photographs, this book, again for the first time, provides a full catalog of all hallmarks used in different assay offices and all hallmarked gold coins known to the author.
