Comment

This is known as the Yarkand Khanate's fourth type of coin, and with the coin being so much smaller and lighting than the previous issues, it was probably one of the last types struck by the khanate.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Yarkand Khanate, which was a Turkic khanate that existed in the 16th and 17th centuries in the region of Yarkand, which is now part of Xinjiang, China.
