Sinkiang (Xinjiang) was for many years an autonomous region covering much of the western part of China, and was center stage for the various ‘Silk Road’ routes connecting eastern China with Central Asia, the Middle East, and ultimately Europe. The region was made a province of China in 1884, and at about this time only three of the previous eight mints were operative (Kashgar, Tihwa, and Aksu).
The specimen shown was lot 60503 in Ponterio sale 162 (Hong Kong, August 2011), where it sold for $120. The catalog description[1] noted, "CHINA. Sinkiang. 1/2 Mace, ND (ca.1878). Kashgar Mint. 喀什噶爾造光緒銀錢五分。 NGC AU-50. Ex: The Frank Robinson Collection."
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 1.45 g, silver.
