背面描述	The reverse likewise bears multiple horizontal registers of bold Arabic thuluth calligraphy occupying the entire field, separated by engraved horizontal lines. The legends record the mint name Misr (Cairo) and the regnal year 974 AH, arranged in a stacked format typical of Ottoman sultani coinage struck in Egypt. The script is deeply struck and boldly modeled, consistent with hammered production.

附加信息	Selim II inherited the throne in 1566 following the death of Suleiman the Magnificent during the siege of Szigetvár — a campaign Selim himself did not join, a fact his contemporaries noted with contempt. The sultani as a gold denomination had been calibrated to compete directly with the Venetian ducat in Levantine trade, and Ottoman mints maintained the weight standard with enough consistency that merchants across the eastern Mediterranean accepted them without assay. Selim's reign saw the disastrous naval defeat at Lepanto in 1571, though Ottoman financial infrastructure absorbed the loss more readily than western sources typically acknowledge. The Algiers mint remained productive throughout.
