Product Description
Acquire a scarce and historically significant provincial silver issue from China's remote western frontier with this AH 1324 (1906) Sinkiang Tihwa 2 Mis, cataloged as L&M-804.

Key Highlights:
-
Elite Census Scarcity: A tightly held and extremely rare population profile. According to NGC census data, only 4 examples share this exact VF 35 tier, with a mere 4 total pieces known in higher grades, making mid-to-high-grade certified survivors remarkably difficult to source.
-
Frontier Mint Heritage: Issued under imperial authority in Central Asia, bridging traditional Chinese administrative structures with local Islamic-influenced coin designs and calendar dates.
-
NGC Certified Authenticity: Graded VF 35 by NGC, offering wonderful eye appeal, honest historical circulation character, and well-preserved surface details across the central wreath and inscriptions.
-
Advanced Specialist Cornerstone: An indispensable holding for advanced cabinets focused on late-imperial Chinese provincial silver rarities and regional population registries.
AH1324 (1906) China Sinkiang Tihwa L&M-804 2 Mace Silver Coin — NGC VF35 — Population Rarity
A scarce Qing Dynasty Sinkiang provincial silver coin struck at the Tihwa (Dihua/Urumchi) Mint during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor. This L&M-804 issue represents the unique frontier coinage of Xinjiang, featuring limited regional production and strong historical significance.
The coin is highly collectible due to its rare Tihwa mint origin, specialized collector demand, recognized L&M variety, and very limited NGC population. With only a small number certified in VF35 and higher grades, this example represents an important survivor of late Qing Sinkiang silver coinage.
