QOCHO KINGDOM: Anonymous, ca. 850-1225, AE cash (7.3g), graded 80 by GBCA Grading Company, VF, ex Spink Hong Kong Auction CSS82C, "The Prestigious Academic Reference Collection of the Late Dr. Werner Burger," Lot 2124. The kingdom was founded by Huihu refugees fleeing the fall of the Uyghur Khaganate. They settled at Qocho, also known as Gaochang, modern day Turpan County of Xinjiang. Its population is referred to as the 'Xizhou Huihus' after the old Tang Chinese name for Gaochang, and their kings were titled as 'Idiqut' or 'Arslan' (lion), who received royal recognition from the Tang Dynasty. The close proximity to China and the importance of the Silk Road resulted in the cash coins in local circulation being similar to Tang Dynasty's 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' which were round with a square hole in the middle, but surrounded by a Uyghur legend. A curious ancient coin with strong Chinese influences and is an important part of the lineage of modern day Uyghurs and Yugurs.
