Watch List notes:

KASHGAR, TEMP. YA'QUB BEG (1282-1294h). Cast 50-cash, Kucha (12)85h. OBVERSE: In margin: sanat khams wa thamanin min ba'd hijrat risala; In field: al-Sultan | 'Abd al- 'Aziz | Khan 85. REVERSE: In field fi darb | madinat | Kucha. WEIGHT: 26.72g. REFERENCE: cf Künker auction 199, 13 December 2011, lot 382 = Zeno 106125. CONDITION: About very fine for issue and very rare. This rare and interesting piece acknowledges the Ottoman Sultan Abdül Aziz, but was issued by Ya'qub Beg during his rebellion against Chinese rule in Kashgar. Ya'qub seems to have captured the city of Kucha either in late 1284h or early in 1285h, and this commemorative issue was evidently produced to mark this event. The year '85' appears both in words and numerals and is unambiguous.
