If you can post an item with that theme, then you get to post a second item of your own to start a new theme.

If nobody follows a theme within 24 hours of its being posted, then anybody is free to post a new theme.

If I understand that correctly, then anyone can change the theme if they can post one coin which follows the theme as previously posted. I could have changed it back to horse after posting the multi head coin, A?

 

^yup

 

Well, that kind of takes the fun out of having a neat theme which can go on for a week or more. Maybe I will unwatch this thread.

Nice milled Red 10 cash! They are hefty pieces, thick and larger than the usual 10 cash. That red cash in style reminds me of the Ration Silver xiang yin from Kashgar (same mint as yours) and they are definitely unique in design! Have you seen the Aksu types that are cast?

 

Nice AH 1322 type. Later issue with the distinctive, and rather ornate, denticle designs. Also, have you seen the double flower type for this year?

Nice 喀造 ka zao rather than 喀什 ka shi designation!

 

Reviving this one...
