Moueuat Mint-Towns. 
It may be truly said of the Honorific Epithets of Mughal 
mint-towns that they open out to the curious inquirer one of 
the most interesting as well as instructive by-paths of numis-

is associated, and then each mint-town is mentioned along

permissible to say that his useful monograph stands in need of

would permit. It is not necessary to call attention to all the 
changes, but two principal points of difference may be in- 
dicated. Inthe first place, Asafabad, Salimgarh [Salima bad]. 
Shahabad, Shergarh, Sahibabad, Fathabad. -Farrukhabad, 
Muhammadabad, Miminabad, etc., have been treated nof as

alternatives. In the second, some titles resting upon tenta- 
tive or conjectural decipherments which have had to be aban- 
doned, ¢.g. <x? 9 we >s, etc. have been deleted along with two 
others, sy psf y0% and slfyb wyo78 814, of which the meaning 
had been imperfectly apprehended. At the same time, an 
attempt has been made to specify the years or period of every 
reign during which each epithet figures on the coins. This
