Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. There are various kinds of Xinjiang coins. The earliest coins made in the Tarim Basin were the so-called "horse coins" of the "Yu Tian" kingdom near modern Hotan. These were struck around the second and third centuries with a horse image on one side and legends in Han and Kharosthi scripts. Cast coins made in imitation of Chinese coins were also produced in the Tarim Basin. The kingdom of Qiuzi (near modern Kucha) produced coins similar to the Chinese "wu zhu" pieces. An early BuddhistUyghur kingdom also cast coins in Chinese style, but with Uyghur legends. The city-state of Gao Chang made its own coins in Chinese style, with the legend "Gao Chang Ji Li."
