SINKIANG: Tsewang Rabdan, 1691–1727, AE pul (7.89g), Yarkand, ND, Cr-36-7.2, teardrop shaped planchet, VF. The Dzungar Khanate was an Inner Asian khanate of Oirat Mongol origin. At its greatest extent, it covered an area from southern Siberia in the north to present-day Kyrgyzstan in the south, and from the Great Wall of China in the east to present-day Kazakhstan in the west. The core of the Dzungar Khanate is today part of northern Xinjiang, also called Dzungaria. In 1755, the Manchus took advantage of a Dzungar civil war to conquer Dzungaria and destroyed the Dzungars as a people. The destruction of the Dzungars led to the Qing conquest of Mongolia, Tibet, and the creation of Xinjiang as a political administrative unit. A great number of these copper pul were melted down after the Qing conquest to cast the new Qian Long "red cash" types.
