I've been down a rabbithole reading up about the coinage of Xinjiang province in China.
One interesting "source" is current Chinese government propaganda, which claims that there are Qarakhanid coins which recognize Chinese authority. This is highly likely to be misleading, but I was wondering if any experts here can shed some light on the following:
Quote:
"...The coins of the Kara-Khanid Khanate were often inscribed with such titles as TavghaqBughra Khan, King from Qin, and King from Qin and the East to indicate that the khanate was part of China...."
What could this refer to? I've been looking for ages on ACSearch, Numista and various Blogs but cannot find a coin with an inscription that says anything like that. "Tavghaq Bughra" may have many spelling variations.
Anyone here have any idea what they are talking about?
