This will make a very nice addition to my historical figures collection. OTTOMAN EMPIRE. Sulayman I Qanuni (AH 926-974 / 1520-1566 AD). GOLD Sultani. Misr (Cairo) mint. Dated AH 926 (1520/1 AD). Obv: Legend. Rev: Legend, with mint and AH date. Pere 181; Album 1317. Condition: Very fine. Weight: 3.38 g. Diameter: 20 mm. Report this Post to the Staff

orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 05/11/2017 08:14 am Thanks for all the kind comments. Sorry @Echizento, I have no idea what the legend is. The auction house did not provide it. I am going to look at other examples online to see if I can come up with at least an approximation of the legend. Report this Post to the Staff
