Sultani - Suleiman I Mosul, type 2

Suleiman I ascended to the throne in September 1520, and among his earliest administrative acts was standardizing gold coinage across the expanding empire. The Mosul mint, operating under Ottoman control since Selim I's eastern campaigns, produced a distinct local type distinguished from the Constantinople issues by subtle die characteristics — collectors and researchers have long noted the regional variation in flan preparation and strike pressure across Anatolian and Mesopotamian mints of this period.
