Firtz Shah’s silver coins of the type similar to No. 8 are 
well-known. No.7isa different type. The words »%40! 51 occur 
on the reverse of the coin instead of the obverse as is usual. 
Coins of the same type as No. 8 are known with dates 
from 800 to 825. 
I know of no other coin of the type of No. 7. 
I therefore conclude that the type must have been changed 
in the latter part of A.H. 800. 
ome change appears to have been made in the character 
of the writing during the year 804. Coins of this year present 
two types. The difference is to be seen in the formation of the 
z of <4 and the »* of 3.
