22 Dr. Hoernle— Antiquities from Central Asia . [Extra No. 1, 
his reign there are 14 coins. The reverse has varying Manchu legends 
of two words. Weight 44-70 grs., size 0*875-1". Plate II, 21. 
(c) With the obverse legend Hien-fung-tchung-pao , i.e ., ‘ Weight- 
money of the Emperor Hien-fnng,’ or Hien-fung-yuen-pao , i.e., ‘ Princi¬ 
pal money of Hien-fung,’ who reigned from 1850-1861 A.D. Of his 
reign there are eight coins. One is of bronze, very large, and has a tri¬ 
lingual reverse legend, in Chinese (above and below the hole) tung 100 
or ‘value 100 cash,’ in Persian (to the right) or (mint) ‘Yar¬ 
kand,’ and in Manchu (to the left), see Plate II, 30. The other seven 
coins are of brass, of two different sizes, and with a bi-lingual reverse 
legend. The larger one (Plate III, 5) has in Chinese (above and 
below) tung 15 or ‘ value 15 cash,’ the smaller ones have tung 10 or 
‘ value 10 cash.’ In addition all seven coins have a Manchu legend 
(right and left). (Plate II, 22). 
Very large, 1 specimen ; size 2*0826" ; weight 576 grs. 
large, 1 „ ; „ 1*75" ; „ 351 grs. 
small, 6 ,, ; „ 1" ; ,, 76-118 grs. 
(2) Coins with Persian legends on both sides. There is one coin 
of this kind, of copper. Plate II, No. 23. It is made in the Chinese 
fashion, but is probably a coin struck during one of the more recent 
periods of Muhammadan independence of Kashghar. The legend is 
not fully read. 
Obverse. Reverse. 
1 
The reverse (over saltanat ) apparently bears the date 1283 H., 
nearly obliterated, which would be 1866-1867 A.D., or the second year 
of Yaqub Beg’s revolt, 37 and with which the number 2 on the obverse 
would agree. Kuja, which is quite distinct, may be intended for kucha 
(Kuchar), but the words in brackets are uncertain; and I am unable, 
with the means at my command, to identify the ruler’s name recorded 
on the obverse. Weight 48 grs.; size 1 inch. From M. 2. 
(3) Coins or Tokens with a Chinese legend on one side only. 
There are three of these pieces which are perhaps rather tokens than 
coins. I can obtain no information on them. They are shown on 
Plate II, fig. 25. They first bears the symbol for tsien or 1000; the 
two other symbols I do not know. They are of bronze, and weigh 
89*5, 80*5 and 108*5 grs.; size 0*83". From M. 2.
