| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Selim II inherited an empire at its administrative peak but is better remembered for the catastrophic naval defeat at Lepanto in 1571 than for any expansion of his own. The Damascus mint was among the most productive of the provincial Ottoman gold-striking facilities, serving trade networks that ran from the Levantine coast deep into the Arabian interior. Provincial sultani from Damascus occasionally show slightly softer strikes than Istanbul output, a known characteristic of the mint rather than a circulation artifact.
