| Aanvullende informatie |
Urumchi's mint operated at the edge of viable Qing administration — Xinjiang had only been formally incorporated as a province in 1884, two years before this type began production, following the costly reconquest campaign led by Zuo Zongtang against Yaqub Beg's breakaway Kashgaria state. The provincial infrastructure was embryonic, and the mint's output reflects it: Hartill notes significant variation in fabric and strike quality across the type's twenty-year run, a consequence of inconsistent copper supply along overland routes from the interior.
The Boo-sin mint mark is the Manchu rendering of Xinjiang's administrative capital.
