silver coins, were found in the sudder sub-division vrhile breaking the 

 walls of the houses acquired for railway purposes at Digha. 



Of this treasure only the 6 coins, designated as " double sikka 

 rupees " were forwarded to me, at my request, for examination. On 

 examination, however, they turned out to be common rupees of British 

 mintage. Rupees, of this kind, i. e., with straight milling, were struck 

 between the years 1818 — 1832, by the East India Company in the name 

 of Shah 'A'lam. See Mr. Thurston's History of the Coinages of the East 

 India Company, p. 42.
