AD1864.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dungan Revolt. 1862-77</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the bloodiest revolts in China&#039;s late-Qing dynasty. An uprising of Muslim Huizenga and other Muslim ethnic groups centred around the western regions of Shaanxi, Qing Hai, Ningxia as well as Xinjiang provinces against the Manchu Qing Dynasty. An estimated 20 over million people were recorded to have been killed brought about by the Revolt as well as resulting famine. The rebellion was subsequently quelled by the armies led by the famous Qing General Zuo Zongtang and firmly secured China&#039;s hold over what is today&#039;s Xinjiang province. </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was minted under the authority of one of the lesser known Muslim leaders of the Revolt Rashidin Khan Khoja. Although his role was not of an active rebel but rather of a spiritual one, his expedition was overshadowed by more powerful leaders such as yaqub beg. It employed a Chinese cash design but with distinctive Arabic texts as testament to their Islamic identity and independence. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]474103[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474104[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474105[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474106[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
