| Beschrijving keerzijde | Multiple lines of Arabic calligraphic inscription covering the entire reverse field, arranged in horizontal registers in a style consistent with early sixteenth-century Ottoman gold Sultani coinage. The text, rendered in a bold and fluid hand, contains the royal titles and mint formula. A characteristic tughra-like flourish or extended letterform is visible at the left margin. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly off-center, as is typical of hammered Ottoman gold issues of this period. |

Suleiman I had been sultan for less than a year when this piece was struck — his accession came in September 1520, making early-reign Sultani issues from provincial mints like Mosul among the first gold coinage produced under his authority. Mosul was a secondary mint, and its output was modest compared to Constantinople or Cairo, which means survivors are genuinely uncommon rather than artificially scarce.
The Sultani itself had been standardized under Suleiman's great-grandfather Mehmed II in the 1470s, deliberately matching the weight of the Venetian ducat to facilitate Mediterranean trade.
