Mr. Whitehead informs us that ‘ one or two early Rupees 
of Akbar were struck’ at Chunar, and he has made room for 
Chunar in the list of that Emperor’s silver mints. Of the two 
Rupees, one was in the cabinet of Mr. Bleazby, and is now in 
the British Museum. The other is in this country and is in 
the Government collection at Lakhnau. This coin Mr. 
and 
Chunar by Ellis whose collection the Museum bought. There 
is no trace of a mint-name on the coin. He might have seen 
another similar specimen with a mint-name, but I should think 
it unlikely. The date is 970 or 975; the unit is blurred.” 
Thus far, the evidence appears to go against the inclusion 
of Chunar among the copper mints of Akbar, and also against 
its being reckoned among that Emperor’s silver mints. But 
the latter point cannot be decided so long as Mr. Bleazby’s 
coin remains unpublished.

meant is, no doubt, the capital of the feudatory state of that

spoken of in any one of the eight Histories of Sindh of which 
there are translations or abstracts in the first volume of Elliot 
and Dowson’s invaluable work. Nor is there a single reference
