Extremely rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only an estimated 9 specimens were only known to be found to date from Inner Mongolia and the Russian Far East in the early 2010s. This extremely rare coin is one of the 9 found.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin belonged to the little known and extremely short lived Eastern Xia Kingdom which was founded in outer Mongolia by the warlord Puxian Wannu in 1215. He was a previous general from the Jurchen Jin Dynasty who resisted the Mongol Empire attack. However Puxian Wannu rebelled against the Jin and with the Mongols established a breakaway kingdom which he called the Xia 夏 Kingdom. Do distinguish themselves against the larger Western Xia Dynasty, he named his territory the Eastern Xia. Unfortunately for Puxian Wannu, he decided to turn against his Mongol overlords. Ogedei Khan, Genghis Khan&#039;s successor,&nbsp; dispatched an army against the Eastern Xia, finally conquering it and executing Wannu in 1233.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Eastern Xia was referred by the Goryeos of Korea as Eastern Zhen (Dongzhen) Kingdom.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416007[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Given its extremely short existence, most western maps do not depict or show the kingdom. However, the following map roughly shows the boundaries of the kingdom located around most of Manchuria and the Russian Far East today.</p><p><br /></p><p>source: <a href="https://m.sohu.com/a/319423128_483995/?pvid=000115_3w_a" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://m.sohu.com/a/319423128_483995/?pvid=000115_3w_a" rel="nofollow">https://m.sohu.com/a/319423128_483995/?pvid=000115_3w_a</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416009[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
