Notr.—It would appear that some of these coins were 
struck in the days of Mahmad Shah. Thomas mentions 
large billons of the type No. 11 of the years 791, 799 and 800. 
These cannot be explained, but it is clear that after the death 
of Mahmud the coinage of Firoz Shah and Muhammad, the 
latter in silver, was utilised until Mubarak began to issue 
coins in his own name. 
Ill. Fath Khan Firoz Shah.

insignia of sovereignty and the right of coinage to his eldest 
h : 
headquarters. Thomas states that Fath Khan was given regal 
powers in 760 and that he died in 776 The latter date is 
certainly incorrect. The only known date on any of his coins 
is 761, so that there are no means of proving the date of his 
death by numismatic evidence.
