<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 3138698, member: 4373&quot;]Xinjiang Province... I admit their coins are somewhat unusual and I started to collect them. Only down side is while I can read Mandarin, Arabic is not my forte and that has somewhat put me off. I don&#039;t believe I have cataloged everything that I have. Most of the coins that I have are already shown so I might as well show something different.</p><p><br /></p><p>1/2 miscal?</p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1020313.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Was sold as a Xinjiang 1886 1/2 miscal.

Their coins are actually of higher copper content - turns out they have substantial gold / copper deposits. You can see that it&#039;s pretty &#039;red&#039; considering that most of cash coins are more of a bronze alloy. </p><p><br /></p><p>1917 1 sar</p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1010605.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t go wrong when it&#039;s over 1 ounce of silver! Heavier than a standard Chinese silver &#039;dollar&#039; coin back then which is at around 26.7g.</p><p><br /></p><p>1929 10 cash</p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1041119.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes it&#039;s very corroded but it&#039;s somewhat scarce. Struck in 1928 and 1929. No idea why they are scarce. I know I have a better example coin but I can&#039;t find it on my computer...?</p><p><br /></p><p>Uighurstan 1933 10 &amp; 20 cash</p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1010607.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Struck in 1933 only for a few months before this rouge state tried to declare independence. An interesting part of numismatics. Uighurstan 20 cash coins are overstruck over Xinjiang 10 cash. I have an example I believe where Republic cash coins were used as well. (I don&#039;t think I have photographed it...) </p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly something a bit more modern - 1985 1 yuan commemorating Xinjiang</p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1003824.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
