MintIliInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the traditional Chinese characters for "Tongbao" and "Ili" (meaning "mint" and "region" respectively), while the reverse side features a stylized Arabic inscription that reads "Allah" (God) in the center, surrounded by intricate floral patterns. This blend of cultural influences reflects the rich history of exchange and cultural exchange along the Silk Road, which passed through Xinjiang and other parts of China.
