| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

Suleiman I took the throne in September 1520, and the Aleppo mint — one of the most commercially active in the Ottoman system due to the city's position on the eastern trade routes — would have struck this sultani almost immediately upon receipt of the accession order. The sultani itself had been introduced under Suleiman's great-grandfather Mehmed II as a deliberate answer to the Venetian ducat, calibrated to compete directly in Levantine trade.
Aleppo-mint sultanis from this reign are considerably scarcer than Istanbul or Cairo issues, reflecting a lower striking volume rather than any interruption in production.
