This book examines Chinese Turkestan, a region of significant size located in the heart of Asia, and its coinage. The author, who spent time there, provides a thorough analysis of the coins produced by the two main cities in the region: Kashgar and Urumchi. While the coins are generally rare, the book offers a comprehensive overview of the different types of coins issued over the years, including five miskals, three miskals, and two miskals. The book also delves into the historical context of the region and discusses the various rulers and empires that have controlled it, enriching the reader's understanding of the coins' historical significance. The author's insights shed light on the complex and often fascinating relationship between coinage and political power in Chinese Turkestan. The book is a valuable resource for numismatists, historians, and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of this region.
