Watch List notes:

Lin Gwo-Ming, Ma Tak-Wo and Chen Gi-Mao, Illustrated Catalogue of Sinkiang Gold and Silver Coins, Taiwan, 1990, 304 pages, photo throughout, softcover. Fantastic well-illustrated catalogue of the many sub varieties of silver and gold coins from Sinkiang/Xinjiang at the end of the Ch 'ing dynasty and the very early years of the Republic. It is especially strong in the varieties of silver ½ miscal coins from the various mints, including the coins of Yakub Beg. There are enough English descriptions to make the book useful, although most of the descriptions of sub varieties are written only in Chinese. Apparently, this is the only serious treatment of the many varieties of these coins. Chinese and English text, ex James Farr Numismatic Library.
