The "Three Characters" Kashgar Tael
(t) CHINA. Sinkiang. Sar (Tael), AH 1325 (1907/8). Kashgar (Shufu) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS VG-8.
L&M-742; K-1115; KM-Y-26.1; WS-1219; SGSC-112 (this coin illustrated). Three characters type. Featuring an additional character at the top and an alternative, more archaic rending for a "one" at the bottom, this handsome and wholesome crown stands as an EXTREMELY RARE type for the Kashgar Mint. Some extensive circulation and unevenness in coloring is noted, but these aspects do not interfere with the important nature presented by this wondrous and original specimen.
