Comment
Like how 1331 is an error date for 1321, it is possible 1311 is also an error date, seeing as how much earlier that date is compared to the other two.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mithqual - Guangxu (Kashgar; Guang Xu Yin Yuan Yi Qian Ka Shen) 1311-1322 (1894-1904) coin from Sinkiang Province is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu Emperor, who ruled from 1875 to 1908, was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins in his own name, and this coin was minted during his reign. The coin's design features the emperor's name and title, as well as the province where it was minted, Sinkiang (now known as Xinjiang). This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item.
