It was in an uninhabited area on a path that passes through the Pamir Mountains from the Farghānah Valley to Kashgar. The hoard evidently belonged to a merchant who was forced to hide it in an emergency. It has never been properly studied and I was unable to gain access to it at the Sinkiang Museum. The archaeologist who wrote the published description of the find was not a trained numismatist. He reported that the hoard was made up of silver coins and gold bars, and that there were 947 silver Sasanian and Arab-Sasanian coins that weighed a total of 3,800 grams. Many of the coins appear to have been countermarked. Also found were thirteen crudely manufactured gold bars with a total weight of 1,330 grams; Li Yü-chʻun 李遇春, \"Hsin-chiang Wu-chʻia hsien fa-hsien chin-ťʻiao ho ta-pʻi Po-ssu yin-pi\" 新疆烏恰縣發現金條和大批波斯銀幣, KK 9 (1959), pp. 482-83.",
