Comment
Type 1 and Type 2 differ in the designs of the flags (Type 1 has two floral stripes whereas Type 2 has four floral stripes).These coins are dated in type calendars: Year 1 of the Chinese republican calendar (obverse) and Year 49 of the Chinese cyclical calendar (reverse).
Interesting fact
The 1912 Silver 1 Sar coin from Sinkiang Province is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized dragon on the obverse (front side) and a pearl on the reverse (back side). The dragon symbolizes power and strength, while the pearl represents purity and wisdom. This design was specifically chosen to reflect the cultural and historical significance of Sinkiang Province, which was known for its rich resources and strategic location along the Silk Road.
