(Translation: Sultan Selim Shah bin Sultan Suleiman Khan May he be victorious Struck in Damascus Year 974)
Reverse description Fully inscribed field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, enclosed within a plain linear border with a beaded outer rim. The text proclaims the sultan's titles and divine favour, reading: Gold striker — the glorious and victorious in the land and sea. The script is executed in the dense, intertwined manner characteristic of Ottoman imperial sultani coinage of the Damascus mint, with no figurative elements present.
