CHINA: SYCEE: AR 50 tael (liang) sycee (1737g), Sinkiang Province, Cribb-BMC-Class-XVI, Group A, #111, Xinjiang Yuanbao Chinese Turkestan Principal Ingot, Local Tax Ingot, stamped twice vertically dao yàn (Circuit Inspector) and once horizontally with Turki inscription "[Silver] Smith Ahmad at the Pasha's Office", minor surface marks with well applied and clearly defined stamps and attractive old tone, VF, RR.

Although similar in style and manufacture to the Hubei Ersibao (Class XIII) ingots, the Sinkiang ingots are clearly a class of their own. Aside from the use of multiple languages of Chinese and Uighur, they are cast from a smaller mold with narrow sides which causes them to be smaller and broader at the base.
