Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Suleyman I (1520-1566) gold Sultani AH 947 (1540/1) AU55 ANACS, Zabid mint (in Yemen), 3.52g, Album-A1118, ICV-3158. A truly marvelous and choice offering of this very rare Yemeni emission that features the actual year of issue rather than the accession date formula so common on contemporary sultanis of other mints. Though an unfortunate typo in the spelling of the mint name appears on the holder, this is surely a piece deserving of a premium bid.
