the dates reading from inside. The Ahmadabad rupee of 981 
H., apparently the only one known of this year and now in 
Lucknow, is from this find. On it the year is reversed, ta% for 
4At. 
The stroke to the right of “ty 5) I take to be the tail of 
v of G2 making the name appear to read Anhalwala, a form of 
the name which does occur. We had before (Pl. ii, 3.) a 
parallel instance of the division of the letters of a word in this 
position. The find contained 3 specimens, all of 984 H. from 
the Nahrwila mint. The obverses of two of them are shown. 
Anhalptr or Anhalwara was founded about 74 A.D., by 
Ban Raj of the Chowra (Chauda) tribe and by degrees the 
e 
Mala, 1878, p 29). Nahrwala is the form it takes in the time of 
Akbar. In the Tabaqat-i-Akbart (Elliot, Hestory, v. pp. 196, 
432) we find mention of ‘‘ Nahrwala Patan ’’ and ‘‘ Nahrwala, 
better known as Pattan.”? The Akbarndma (Beveridge, ii, p. 
200) speaks of ‘‘ Pattan which is the nearest city of Gujrat and 
used formerly to be called Nahrwala.” 
The A‘in-i-Akbart (Thomas, Chronicles, p. 428) mentions 
wy , evidently Nahrwala, as one of Akbar’s mints for copper, 
but none of this metal are known. The rupees now noted are 
the first found. The position of Nahrwala is indicated on 
maps by Patan, in lat. 23° 51’ 30’ N., long. 72° 10’ 30” E.

The letter preceding Gj, appears like the J in the mint

seems to be known.
