Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Selim I (AH 918-926 / AD 1512-1520) gold Sultani AH 918 (AD 1512) AU Details (Bent) NGC, Constantinople mint (in Turkey), A-1314 (R), Pere-114var (obverse & reverse design), Damali-9-K-A1e. 19mm. 3.45gm. A veritably quite excellent strike for this rare emission from the capital mint, a slight bit of weakness and friction on the highest points of the calligraphy, but hardly what could be called obtrusive. A tiny hairline flan-crack is just visible above the ayn of sahibu'l on the reverse, likely induced by the bending of the flan, as well as a die cud over the word sultan, noted for the sake of completeness, though they do little to stop the natural flow of the eye through the legends.
