1 Cash - Rashidin Khan Kucha, with date

Kucha was one of the oasis city-states of the Tarim Basin that fell under the control of Yaqub Beg during his rapid conquest of Kashgaria in the 1860s. Rashidin Khan held Kucha briefly as a semi-autonomous figure before Yaqub Beg's consolidation of the region under his Athalik Ghazi government displaced local authority. The cash coinage struck here reflects that transitional moment — local form, square-holed and cast in the Chinese tradition the region had used for generations, but issued under a Muslim khanate asserting independence from both Qing authority and the encroaching Russian sphere.
