66. On THE BiJAPtR RUPEE OF KAm BAKusH. 
In a letter written a short while ago I was lamenting the 
scarcity nowadays of rare coins in the Ahmadabad _ bazar. 
After posting that letter, I went straight to the bazar, and the 
very first coin to be put into my hand was a Bijapur rupee of 
Kambakhsh ! 
The rupee is of the same type as No. 853 in the British 
Museum Catalogue, but earlier by a year, and happily it con- 
tains that part of the obverse legend which is wanting in the 
specimen in the British Museum. Right at the top, above the 
words (#3 lf, stands its every letter beautifully distinct, the 
lagab sb wo ‘‘ the Asylum of the Faith.’’ 
“The Prince (Kam Bakhsh) then assumed the throne. 
He was mentioned in the Khutba under the title of Din Panah, 
and coins also were issued with this title.’’ Dowson’s Elliot,

Further the couplet on this rupee proves to be precisely 
the couplet that Mr. Rodgers ‘built up,’’ and subsequently 
published in the J.A.S.B. (vol. lvii, part 1, No. I—1888),

; A few days ago a money-changer here called to show me 
a tew coins. Amongst them I was delighted to find a dupli- 
or of the ‘< Zafaribad ’? rupee of Shah ‘Alam I, a rupee that 
ir. Rodgers in his Lahor Museum Catalogue (page 197, No. 3) 
has termed ‘‘Unique.’’ In that Catalogue it is described as
