Comment
After the Chinese conquest of Xinjiang, the Yarkand Mint was the first to be opened, casting coins from melted down Pul coins. In 1769, casting was transfered to Ushi.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty, who ruled China from 1736 to 1796. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to standardize currency across the vast territories of the Qing empire. The Qianlong emperor was known for his military campaigns, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements, and this coin is a small but fascinating artifact from that time period.
