| Obverse description | Hammered silver akçe struck at the Baghdad mint during the reign of Sultan Selim II. The obverse field bears a multi-line Arabic legend in stylized thuluth script reading the sultan's name and titles: 'Selim Shah ibn Suleiman Shah Khan / May his victory be glorified / Struck in Baghdad 974.' The script is arranged in stacked horizontal registers across the irregular flan, characteristic of Ottoman hammered coinage of the sixteenth century. The flat, unstruck periphery shows the typical irregular edge of a hand-cut planchet. |
