although I consider that there is some doubt as to the accepted 
termination of the reign of Sikandarin 792”. Four Firozabaid 
coins of Sikandar are assigned by Thomas to dates later than 
787 H., but the chroniclers are at variance and the dates given 
by Thomas have in some instances been rejected as wrongly 
read. That in some cases coins were issued posthumously is 
certain. The find includes two specimens of the 812 H. issue 
in the name of A‘zam, noticed in the Journal of the Bengal 
Asiatic Society in 1873. These were struck at Firozabad, the 
Capital, and apparently filled the gap between the death of 
Hamza and the assumption of full regal honours by Bayazid. 
More puzzling is a coin of A‘zam, of the ordinary Firozabad 
type, but with a characteristic script of its own. he date is 
given in words and it is indubitably later than 800 mH. The 
unit is more like «4%! than anything else : but if so the date 
is inexplicable. 
cution. This class of coins, also assigned to the Mu‘azzami- 
bad mint, is quite distinct from the finely executed type G. of 
the Catalogue, and occurs in two varieties. The larger and 
better kind has the obverse legend enclosed within a well-cut 
andin metal. They are little if any superior to the worst issues 
of Hamza and are probably posthumous, like the 812 8. coins 
of the Firozibad mint. The coins of this type, hitherto un- 
represented in the Museum, are small and thick, so that margins 
have almost disappeared, while the proportion of copper in 
their composition is abnormally high. 
One coin of this Sultan resembles No. 85 of the Museum 
Catalogue, though it is somewhat larger, the size being 1:12. 
The 1} on the circular obverse is the same, but on the 
reverse, also circular, it reads :—
