This exact type is not in Numista, please consider adding it to the catalogue. (The closest one from this ruler has a different reverse: N#69620 )

You've nailed it, you made my day, thank you  a lot :)

Can l ask where you see this as a different reverse type of D197

Ah, yes, you're right. I see that this kind of reverse is in the comments of the coin page as a variation. My bad, I assumed this is a completely different type.

easily done,  The Goron catalogue only lists one type for this ruler, it has to have different words to be classed as a type although the catalogue does list  different layouts of the same words for some of the other Sultans.  The  Obverse has the rulers name & titles, reverse is the side with the circle, mint and date in the outer circle which is often off the flan
