| Obverse description | Central field bears four Chinese ideograms arranged vertically in two columns, reading top to bottom and right to left, denoting the silver ration denomination. The Chinese characters are encircled by a continuous Arabic legend running around the periphery of the coin, incorporating the denomination and issuing authority in Arabic script. The overall design reflects the bilingual administrative character of Sinkiang Province coinage under the Guangxu reign, combining Chinese and Arabic textual elements without a pictorial motif. |
