| Additional information |
Sinkiang's provincial mint at Ürümqi — referred to in Western numismatic literature under the romanization "Sungarei," derived from the Dzungar Basin — was established under Qing authority to supply coinage for a region where Central Asian trade demands made standard inland issues impractical. This piece dates to the early operation of that facility, before production methods stabilized, and the series is known for significant striking inconsistencies across the run.
The KM#Pn42 designation flags this as a pattern classification in some references, though L&M and Kann treat corresponding pieces as circulation issues — a cataloging disagreement that has never been fully resolved.
