Interesting fact
The 2 Mithqual - Xuantong (Kashgar) 1329 (1911) coin from Sinkiang Province is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in China. The Xuantong Emperor, who ruled from 1908 to 1912, was the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, and his reign saw the fall of the Qing Empire and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin, minted in 1911, bears the symbol of the double-headed eagle, which was a common motif in Chinese coinage during this time period. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and valuable, with only a few known examples remaining in existence.
