Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mithqual - Guangxu (Kashgar; Guang Xu Yin Yuan; with wreath) 1310 (1893) coin from Sinkiang Province is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Islamic design elements. The coin's obverse side features the Chinese characters "广西寅年" (Guang Xu Yin Yuan), which means "Guang Xu era, year of the rabbit," while the reverse side features a wreath surrounding the coin's denomination, which is written in both Chinese and Arabic scripts. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural diversity of the region where the coin was minted, which was a major stopover on the ancient Silk Road.
