we have still to see a muhar of ’Ala-ud-din Sikandar, and 
rupees of the same short-lived ruler, as well as those of Abia-

may yet await us. 
I. Ghiasu-d-din Mahmid (Pretender), A.H. 752. 
The supposititious son of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, placed 
on the throne with the best of intentions, but with disastrous 
results, by Khwaja-i-Jahan during the absence of Firoz Shah in 
Sind, appears to have struck gold in large quantities, for his 
coins, despite the shortness of his reign, are relatively common. 
No silver, billon or copper coins of this pretender have come 
to light, but their discovery might well be expected.

Il. Firoz Shah, A.H. 752—790. 
Few additions have to be made to the list of coins attri- 
buted by Thomas to Firoz Shah. No new gold types have 
come to light, but the silver tanka, the existence of which was 
not credited by Thomas, has been found, and there is no 
apparent reason why other specimens corresponding to all the 
known types in gold should not be discovered in due course 
In billon the list remains practically unaltered. Specimens of 
the minute coin illustrated by Thomas (No. 232) have been 
found, after the lapse of many years; while in copper the
