946, while those of 947 are very numerous. Sher Shah did 
not gain possession of Dehli till the end of 947, and he is not 
likely to have struck coins bearing that mint-name before it 
was included in his dominions. Again with very few excep- 
tions, such as the Sharifabad coins of the earlier type, the 
reverse the honorific title of the sovereign is Abua-l-Muzaffar 
Jahainpanah ; a fact which shows conclusively that Jahan- 
panah in this instance cannot be anything but an honorific 
epithet. Contemporary histories show that the Siri Sultans 
and Akbar were commonly addressed by this term, and this, 
show that in the case of Mr. Thomas second thoughts were 
unfortunate and that definite authority for the inclusion of 
Jahanpanah among the mints of the Pathans is still lacking. 
Jaunpir. 
We are told in the ‘ Tartkh-i-Mubarak Shahi’ that Firoz 
Shah founded a new fort and city at Jaunpur by the name of 
Zafarabad and that he installed his son F ath Khan as viceroy 
of the eastern portions of his dominions with the right to coin. 
The issues bearing the name of this prince are clearly of a pro- 
vincial type, as pointed out by Thomas, but while it is almost 
certain that they were struck at Jaunpir, there is no mention 
of the place of mintage in the description. The Sharqi dynasty 
issues of coins from their mint, and the name does not appear 
till the conquest of Jaunpur by Bahlol Lodi, who struck small 
coins with the mint given as Shahr Jaunpur. After him came 
the luckless Barbak, but Sikandar Lodi did not continue the 
practice. Jaunpir was a mint of Babar and Humayin, and 
was adorned with the title of Khita-i-mutabarrak. The place 
fell at an early date into the hands of Sher Shah, but none of 
his known coins bear this name. Copper was struck there,. 
however, by Muhammad Adil, who retained J aunpur till shortly 
before his death. 
Shisi. 
The small town of Jhisi is situated opposite the fort of 
Allahabad on the north bank of the Ganges. It figures as a 
mint on a rare rupee of Muhammad *Adil, and on some similar 
gold pieces which are not above suspicion. 
Kalpi. 
__ The old Muhammadan stronghold of Kalpi on the Jumna 
did not attain the dignity of a mint-city until the days of
