1921.] Numismatic Supplement No. XXXV. 131 
that article! was written, many scattered notices of in- 
teresting coins of the Muhammadan Sultans of Dehli have 
appeared in ae journals, no attempt has been made by 
any numismatist to draw up and publish lists of the coins 
issued by any ie the kings of the dynasties, which comprised 
the era of Muhammadan rule in India. It is with a view to 
assisting others interested in this branch of Indian numisma- 
tics that I publish this list of the coins of Sultan Muhammad 
bin Tughlag—a list which was originally drawn up for my 
own information, but one which I have reason to believe will 
be of service to — 
which contain interesting and often unique coins. These have 
as far as possible been recorded in the list, but owing to the 
War I have been unable to draw upon the store of interesting 
coins contained in the fine collection of Mr. H. Nelson Wright, 
evolving a complete compendium of the coins of the Muaham- 
madan Sultans of Dehli, a work which is much to be desired 
and one which, taking into view the work which has lately 
been done on other branches of Indian numismatics, is long 
overdue. 
The list of the mintages of Muhammad bin Tughlag pub- 
lished herewith is, I am sure, by no means complete. If how- 
ever the publication results in the correction of any inherent 
inaccuracies and in the bringing to light of coins not ‘contained 
in the list, then I will feel that the publication of this cata- 
logue has ‘been u useful. 
A list of the references and abbreviations employed has 
Nelson Wright i in his ‘ Catalogue of Coins in t the Indian Museum 
Calcutta,’ and to renderings of Thomas in his ‘ Chronicles of 
the Pathan kings of Dehli.’ The publication of a complete 
set of plates of the coins described would have been a desir- 
able feature but, in view of the expense she oe and the 
difficulties in the way of obtaining casts of many unique 
coins, the idea must be abandoned. As far as pectic the
