As a general a rupees of Bahawalpur mint, sc 
R Mughal. ues of the later Durrani kings or of the 
eee St Sats, had been separated out, anaes in 
the case of the gold coins, formed the great bulk of the four 
lakhs of silver coins. The remainder consisted of miscellaneous 
Ther ag 
coins of Shah Jahén. I thought it possible that out of so many 
rupees of this type, I might come across acoin of Shah Shuja, 
Muhammadi, but was not successful, although I found three or 
four ‘square a area,’ type rupees of Mu hammad Murad Bakhsh 
of Ahmad4ébad and Sarat mints, and several coins of Aurangzeb 
of this type 
Although gk number of Mughal rupees was comparatively 
small, I fou many rare coins, which are detailed below. 
There is a duplicate of the till now unique Murddabad rupee of 
Aurangzeb in the Lahor Museum. It bears the same dates 
I came across several ica of Rafi‘u-d-darjat of Multan 
mint of the rare non-couplet type. 
‘Xlamgir Sani’s ae of Baldat Bikanir and Daru-l-Aman 
Multan are worthy of n 
e silver coins jane i said to start from Aurangzeb, and 
to end with ‘ Alamgir II. Rupees of Aurangzeb and Muhammad 
There were about equ ual numbers of the rupees of Farrukh 
Siyar and Shéh ‘Alam Bahadur I. I found no nisdrs, and no 
rupees of the rare emperors such as A‘zam Shah, Shah Shuja, 
uhammad Ibrahim, and Bedar Bakht. 
There is a great mass of material for a detailed study of 
Humetni: Durrani silver coins, of which there must 
be a lakh in the State Treasury. The most 
interesting of the selected coins appears to be a solitary rupee 
of Taimur Shah minted at Khujista Bunyad, Haidarabid. 
The rupees of Sh4h Jahan include ‘square areas’ type 
coins of mints Ahmadabad, Akbarnagar, 
a Burhénpar, Bhakkar, Bhilsa, Patna, 
Jtinagarh, Jahangirnagar, Daulatabad, Sarat, Qandahér, 
Kabul, Khanbayat, Lahor, Lakbnau, and Multan
