Comment
This type was probably struck around the same time as the Yarkand Khanate's "second type".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. The coin was made of copper and weighed 2.66 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the economy of the region and was used for everyday transactions.
