| Obverse lettering | سلطان سليمان بن سلطان سليم خان عز نصره ضرب في حلب سنة ٩٢٦ (Translation: Sultan Suleiman bin Sultan Selim Khan May he be victorious Struck in Aleppo Year 926) |
| Reverse description | The reverse field is filled entirely with a boldly struck multi-line Arabic inscription in deeply incuse calligraphic script, arranged across three to four horizontal registers and surrounded by a plain dotted border following the coin's irregular circumference. The legend proclaims the sultan's epithets as striker of gold and lord of glory and victory on land and sea, reflecting standard Ottoman sultani reverse typology of the early sixteenth century. The hammered flan presents characteristic surface irregularities, and the script, rendered in a practiced chancery hand, extends nearly to the beaded inner border on all sides. |
