Important websites

Apart from books, the other most important thing to do is of course ask questions and look up your questions online first.

Here are some useful links you may consider looking up:
http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=580
The Zeno gallery of Ottoman coins. Currently there are more than 600 coins there. You can look up my collection of coins if you go to search and type bcebeci.

If you have any questions or would like me to add anything please let me know about it.

Best wishes,

Konstantinos G. F:
Hello.  I have read your post. Very informative. I am trying to find information on the Sakiz mint in particular. I know there are at least 4 different Sultans to issue Sultani there:  Süleyman, Selim II, Mehmet III, and Murad III.  At least to the best of my knowledge. Does anyone know if there any others?  If others, please let me know. Also, I know that at least Mehmet III issued Acke in Sakiz. Any other Sultans?  Any other known denominations from Sakiz?

I can’t seem to find any informative text emphasising Sakiz.  Any ideas?

Lastly, I believe a sultani was issued is Smyrna?  Anyone know by whom?  More than one Sultan?  More than just this denomination?  Thanks for any help anyone can provide to me in advance. Thank you.

Konstantinos
