For now some fifteen years I have had in my possession 
eleven insignificant-looking coins, which are yet of interest 
because of the puzzling questions which they raise. Where 
h 
smaller is °5 inch. 
One of the larger and one of the smaller are seemingly of 
bronze, but all the others are of copper. 
The average weight of the larger is 127 grains, and of the 
smaller 64 grains. 
The dates are as follows :-— 
Large—937 H. (two), 938 (bronze), 939 (two), 940 (two). 
Small—934 H. 938, 938 (bronze), 939. 
The legend, which is clearly continuous on the obverse 
and reverse long defied decipherment for no one specimen con- 
tained the whole, so that a part legible on one coin had to be 
type larger than any of mine—it must, I fancy, have weighed 
at least 260 grains—and with its aid the legend ultimately 
stood revealed as follows :—
