Let me now note the principal points : 
In Gold, Abii Fazl has four mints: 
Mu‘askar-i-Iqbal (Camp of Fortune), Bangala, Ahmadabad 
and Kabul. 
We possess the issues of Urdi Zafarqarin, Akbarnagar, 
Agra, Kashmir and Lahor. 
I have shown that Mu‘askar-i-Iqbal and Urdi Zafarqarin 
are really one and the same. I have also discussed in another 
note the question of the Bangala mint and given some reasons 
for thinking that it was really situated at Akbarnagar. It is 
true that the two Ilahi Muhrs we possess do not exhibit any 
date ‘‘ beyond the Persian month,” but that is no reason for 
supposing that they were not struck when the mint was first 
opened about the 39th year, to which the earliest rupee of 
Bangala belongs. 
The Kashmir coin in the Panjab Museum is a solitary 
specimen of which the date (999 A.H.) is admittedly doubt- 
ful, if not conjectural altogether. The coin is besides of the 
earlier or Kalima type. It seems to me that, like the similar 
government would think of maintaining two first-class mints 
within a dozen miles of each other, and it is aying no undue 
compliment, perhaps, to that of Akbar to suppose that it was not 
guilty of such an extravagance. 
As for gra, the earliest gold coins are of the 42nd year. 
The Muhr in the Indian Museum (No. 75) is of Shahriyar, the

a may also say that there are in three places incidental references to 
events which occurred in the 43rd and 45th years (Jarrett, Ain, Trans. IT. 
196, 224 and 227), but there can be little doubt that they represent mar- 
= additions or comments made after the formal completion of the

a ore follow that the list of mints which occurs almost at the outset 
of the work was not revised for the last time several months before that
