AH 1311 (1894) China Sinkiang Kashgar L&M-688 3 Mis (3 Sull/Sarf) — NGC VG10 — Population Rarity
A scarce Qing Dynasty Sinkiang provincial silver coin struck at the Kashgar Mint during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor. This frontier issue features distinctive bilingual inscriptions reflecting the unique cultural and monetary history of Xinjiang in the late Qing period.
Its value is based on its limited regional production, Kashgar mint rarity, specialized collector demand, and very limited surviving population. Despite its circulated VG10 grade, this example represents an important and difficult-to-find Sinkiang silver issue.
