Comment
Confirmation is needed on if Y#31.1 actually exists. Krause states that there are "rosettes in the outer field" of the reverse; however, the given picture does not show that, instead falling in-line with Y#31.2.Interesting fact
The 5 Mithqual coin from Sinkiang Province, made of silver and weighing 17.20g, is interesting because it features a unique flower design on one side, which sets it apart from other coins of its time and denomination.
