| Reverse description | Central field bearing bold, crudely rendered Arabic script legend occupying the majority of the flan, identifying the mint of issue. The inscription reads 'zarb yanghissar', denoting struck at Yangi Hisar mint in Eastern Turkestan (Sinkiang). The script is executed in a fluid, somewhat angular style characteristic of locally produced hammered coinage, with the irregular flan edges and slightly convex surface typical of Qing-era Sinkiang provincial silver issues. |
