| Beschrijving voorzijde | Four large Chinese characters arranged in a two-by-two reading order (top to bottom, right to left) occupy the central field, conveying the denomination inscription. The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a plain outer border. The flat, unadorned field between the beaded ring and the coin's rim is entirely devoid of additional ornament, lending the design a stark, functional character consistent with provincial ration coinage of the late Qing period. |

Sinkiang's ration coinage of 1906–07 emerged directly from the Qing administration's attempt to stabilize a frontier economy that had been chronically disrupted by Russian commercial penetration and decades of Muslim rebellion. The mithqual denomination — borrowed from the Islamic weight standard long used across Central Asia — was a deliberate concession to local trade customs that Chinese cash coinage had never successfully displaced in the Tarim Basin.
The Arabic reverse distinguishes this from other Sinkiang provincial issues and reflects the mint's awareness that coins intended for Uyghur and Turkic-speaking markets needed to function within an existing monetary grammar. Kashgar and Urumqi both produced gold issues in this period, and attribution between facilities remains contested for certain die combinations under Y#8.2.
