<p>[QUOTE=&quot;manymore, post: 827858, member: 17118&quot;]I recently came across an article in Chinese that discusses this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is considered very unusual, and rare, because it has the inscription written in the three languages mentioned in my previous post.&nbsp; The Chinese refer to this coin as the &quot;3 Style&quot; coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The article mentions that the inscription written in Manchu (on the right) is identical to the one written in Chinese (in the middle).</p><p><br /></p><p>The inscription written in Hui (on the left), however, is slightly different and can be translated as &quot;5 miscals silver coin <i>made by Khan</i> (or <i>Mongol Chief</i>) Guang Xu&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally, the article discusses the &quot;3 miscals&quot; version of the coin which is even rarer than the &quot;5 miscals&quot;.&nbsp; The article further states that there are historical references to a &quot;2 miscals&quot; version of the coin but no authentic specimen has ever been found.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
