| Reverse description | Central design features two pairs of crossed staffs or banners arranged in a saltire (X) pattern, each staff bearing a diagonal grid or lattice decoration, occupying the majority of the field. Above the crossed staffs, a crescent and star device appears at the top of the coin. Arabic legends are distributed across the field: the mint name and date appear in the upper register, while the denomination legend is inscribed in the lower portion of the field. The overall composition is characteristic of the bilingual Sinkiang provincial copper coinage, reflecting the region's dual Chinese and Uyghur Muslim cultural identity. |

| Additional information |
The Kashgar Mint operated under chronic political instability during the early Republican period, with Sinkiang remaining effectively autonomous from Peking's authority throughout the 1920s. Local warlord administration meant coin production schedules followed local necessity rather than central government directive, and the Kashgar issues of this period circulated almost exclusively within the Tarim Basin — rarely crossing into interior China at all.
The multiple die varieties catalogued under Y#38a reflect successive punch and hub replacements at a facility with limited tooling resources, not deliberate design revisions.
