head has no doubt that they are ‘“‘ Kabul issues of the first years 
of this emperor ”’ (P.M.C. Introd. xciii), but they may, for aught 
we know, belong to a later period. Kabul had been left by 
Humayin to his second son, Mirza Muhammad Hakim, who 
died in 993 A.H. (XXXR). It was then only that that part of 
his ancestral dominions came directly and completely under 
Akbar’s rule. The earliest half-dams are of the thirty-second 
year. They are of the [ahi pattern, but the issues in silver 
may have been, for obvious reasons, permitted to wear ‘ the 
old familiar faces’ for some time after the regular or complete 
annexation of the Province.

and private collections. It may also be permissible to state, 
for what it is worth, that Tanda is one of those Mughal mints 
which are recognised by Dr. Codrington in his ‘ Manual.’ It is 
true that no coins of Tanda have been published, and it is not 
vouched for either by Mr. Burn or by Mr. Whitehead, but it

the date is really ‘ Bahman 42’ (the units figure is far from 
clear on I.M.C. No. 169, Pl. Il), it still remains to say that 
the mint may have been first opened some time after the final 
revision of the list in that year. 
There are in existence a very few coins of two other mints 
in reference to which there is the same uncertainty, viz., 
Dewal Bandar and Lahri Bandar. There was a rupee 0 the 
Panjab Museum, but all that Mr. Whitehead can say of them 
is that the dates are Ardibihisht and Dai 4X, probably, 42 
(P.M.C. Nos. 346-7). 
Of Lahri Bandar only three rupees are known. I can see 
‘MC. 483 (PI. III), though the month 
(Azar) is clear. Mr. Whitehead reads ‘‘ 42 (?)”” and leaves it 
admittedly doubtful!. May we not give Abul Fazl in these 
three cases the benefit of the doubt ?
