BENGAL. 
In 1873 Sir E. C. Bayley ctaneaeie a drawing of a gold 
coin of this king.' But at that ould not read the mint 
and date and consequently was ‘obliged is discuss the question 
of its assignation at length. an were correctly read by 
S. L. Poole in his catalogue.” The same scholar also spabpliahiod 
the full name of the king sprite. for the first time. Bayley’s 
coin remained an unique specimen for a very long time, and 
seems to be the only god coin of Muzaffar Shah recorded up to 
date. Recently I came across two gold coins of this prince in 
Bengal. The first coin paltings to Babi Debi Prasad Marwari, 
of Bhagalptr, and was sent to me for examination with the 
major part of his collection. It is almost a duplicate of 
Bayley’s coin :—

The coin was purchased by the owner at Bhagalpur. The 
second coin was found in the ruins of Gaur, and is at present in 
the possession of Babi.Krishna Lal Chaudhuri, Zemindar of 
Maldah. This coin is an exact duplicate of hay Debi Prasid’s 
coin, ea is in a far better state of preservat 
hould be noted that the name of Muzaffar Shah differs 
on different coins :—
