Additional information

The First East Turkestan Republic existed for less than three years, declared in Kashgar in November 1933 by Khojan Niyaz and a coalition of Uyghur and Kypchak forces following the collapse of Chinese Nationalist control in Xinjiang. Currency production was improvised and chaotic — this piece, nominally valued at 20 Cash but inscribed as 2 Cash, reflects the administrative disorder of a government that never fully controlled its own treasury. Soviet pressure and internal factional conflict dissolved the republic by 1934, the same year this coin was struck.
