Comment
These are attributed to the Kucha Bao Xin Mint, which made coins for Urumchi.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, who was the only son of the Xianfeng Emperor and ruled from 1875 to 1908. However, this coin was minted posthumously, meaning it was produced after the emperor's death, specifically in 1885-1886. This coin is a rare example of a posthumous coin minted during the Qing dynasty.
