Islamic Dynasties
Ottoman Empire. Suleyman I (AH 926-974 / AD 1520-1566) gold Sultani AH 949 (AD 1542/3) AU55 NGC, Zabid mint (in Yemen), A-A1118 (RR), ICV-3158, Pere-194var (date), Damali-Unl. 3.59gm. 20mm. Certainly among the rarest of Suleyman's gold emissions--perhaps even more so than the ever-popular Ruha sultani--the piece at hand represents an absolute must for any connoisseur of the series, all the more so not only as no other Ottoman sultan struck gold at this principle Yemeni mint, but also as the date of AH 949 appears to be entirely unlisted in the standard references on Suleyman's coinage. Tied in grade with the AH 947 example we sold as part of the Dr. Hans Wilski Collection, which sold for an impressive $3840.
