新疆五十两银锭。汉文及突厥文。 罕见。"道验" 1774.45克。银锭正面两个"道验"直戳，但仅有一个可辨认。横戳为突厥文(阿拉伯字母)， 儘管仅部分文字可辨认，仍能看出字母排列取自BMC。表层有些轻微穿孔，但不甚明显。通体霜灰色包浆。此银锭表面有少许印记及上述铸打瑕疵。虽然与湖北二四宝的风格及製造相似，但新疆银锭向来别具一格。除了铸有多种语言外，通常使用较小及窄的模具。致使底部较小，两端较高，造型独特。此枚银锭边缘较高，较底部更长。
CHINA. Sinkiang. Xinjiang Yuanbao Chinese Turkestan Principal Ingot. 50 Tael Local Tax Ingot, ND. VERY FINE. 1774.45 gms. BMC-Class XVI Group A #111. Face of ingot stamped twice vertically "Dao Yan" (Circuit Inspector), though only one can be read. Also stamped horizontally with Turki inscription (in Arabic letters) "Smith Ahmad at the Pasha s Office", though this is also only partly visible and the order of letters is implied from the example in BMC. Slight surface porosity hardly distracting mentioned for accuracy. Little in the way of surface marks on this ingot, with the aforementioned stamp weakness, all imbued with a frosty gray tone.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, they are cast from a smaller mould with narrow sides which causes them to be smaller and broader at the base. In the case of this ingot, the ends are very high, longer than the solid base portion.
