| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered gold flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in the central field, arranged in the characteristic Ottoman sultani style. The inscription identifies the ruler as Sultan Selim Shah, with the text distributed across several registers in bold, calligraphic Arabic script. The regnal title and name are prominently struck, occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The date numerals ٩٧٤ (AH 974 / 1567 CE) appear in the lower portion of the field. The irregular flan edges are typical of hand-hammered Ottoman gold coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Selim II inherited the Ottoman throne in 1566 following Suleiman the Magnificent's death during the siege of Szigetvár — a campaign Selim himself had no part in. The Tripoli regency, established after Ottoman forces expelled the Knights of St. John and then the Spanish in 1551, operated with considerable autonomy under its beys, yet coinage remained nominally tied to the sultan's accession.
Pere 245 and Artuk 1603 both confirm this type as a Tripoli mint attribution, though provincial North African sultani issues of this period are notoriously difficult to separate from Egyptian and Constantinopolitan strikes without clear mint marks.
