Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Tenga (Khotan) 1283 (1867) from Turkestan Khanate (Xinjiang region) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Chinese design elements. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of the Islamic crescent moon, while the reverse side features a stylized dragon, which is a common motif in Chinese art and symbolism. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that occurred along the Silk Road, which passed through the Xinjiang region.
