| 正面描述 | Irregular hammered square flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, naming the Ottoman sultan Selim bin Suleiman Khan. The legend is arranged in three or four lines of angular Naskh script, occupying the full face of the coin. The flan edges are characteristically uneven, typical of hand-struck Ottoman provincial coinage of the sixteenth century. No figurative imagery is present, the inscription itself serving as the sole decorative and identifying element. |

Selim II inherited the Ottoman empire at its territorial peak but is remembered less for expansion than for the catastrophic loss at Lepanto in 1571, one year after this coin was struck. Tunisia at this point had only recently been consolidated under Ottoman suzerainty following the expulsion of the Hafsid dynasty, and coinage from the Tunis mint in these earliest years of direct Ottoman administration is scarce precisely because the monetary infrastructure was still being rebuilt under the new provincial order.
