Comment
Based on the spot finds, these were likely produced by a local government in the Kucha area of Xinjiang.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was privately cast, which means it was not issued by an official government mint but rather by a private individual or entity. This was a common practice during the Tang Dynasty, where private mints were allowed to produce coins for circulation. This coin, in particular, was produced in the Kucha region, which is now part of Xinjiang, China. The fact that it was privately cast and produced in a regional area adds to its unique history and story.
