| Obverse description | The central field bears four large Chinese characters arranged in a two-by-two grid to be read right to left and top to bottom, with a floral rosette at their centre, together denoting the Great Qing dynasty and the denomination of one liang. Horizontal registers of smaller Chinese characters above and below the central group identify the issuing authority and the weight standard. Flanking the composition on both sides are Arabic legends recording the mint name (Kashgar) and the AH date 1315, reflecting the bilingual Sino-Arabic administrative convention of Sinkiang Province. The overall design is densely inscribed and fills the field to the beaded inner border, with no portraiture. The execution is characteristic of the somewhat provincial engraving style associated with the Kashgar Mint. |
