199. Tur Reian or ALAU-D-DIN BAUMAN SHAH. 
Historians differ as to the date of the death of the first of 
the Kings of the Bahmani Dynasty of Kulbarga. 
Ferishta says that the death of ‘Alau-d din Hasan hap- 
pened eleven years two months and eleven days after his 
accession to the throne on the first of Rabiu-l-awal 759 in the

year A.H. 761 and gives the period of his reign as thirteen

orians it is interesting to know that the Prince of Wales 
seum, Bombay, has lately acquired under the Treasure 
Trove Act a Silver Tanka of ’Alau-d-din dated 760 A.H. 
The coin is of the normal type of No.1 of “Gold and 
Silver coins of the Bahmani Dynasty” by the Hon. James 
Gibb published in the Numismatic Chronicle of 1881. Mr. 
Gibb’s coin was dated 758 A.H. and similar specimens dated 
757 and 758 were published in the J.A.S.B. 1909 by the late 
Mr. Framjee J. Thanawala. In describing the above specimens 
Mr. Thanawala took the central figure to be 4. In this he
