| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered gold reverse displaying a multi-line Arabic legend arranged horizontally across the lower half of the irregular flan, with the upper field left largely blank. The inscription, struck in bold relief, reads the honorific formulaic text attributing to the sultan the titles of gold-striker and lord of glory and victory on land and sea. The lettering is rendered in a formal Naskh-influenced hand typical of early sixteenth-century Ottoman mint practice, with the strokes showing moderate relief and slight die wear consistent with circulation use. The plain, unadorned field surrounding the legend is characteristic of hammered Ottoman gold coinage of this mint and period. |

Selim I took Aleppo in August 1516 following the Battle of Marj Dabiq, which effectively ended Mamluk control of Syria in a single afternoon. The mint there was operational within months — a deliberate assertion of administrative continuity in a freshly conquered city that had been a major commercial hub on the eastern Mediterranean trade routes for centuries. Sultani production at Aleppo under Selim was short-lived; his death in 1520 and the subsequent recoinage under Suleiman I mean examples attributable firmly to this three-year window are genuinely scarce.
