Ghiyasu-d-din Bahadur Shah of Bengal was a contemporary 
of ‘Alaud-din Muhammad and the coin is of exactly the same 
style as those struck by the latter Sultan. 
I have not heard of any such billon coins of the Bengal 
Sultans, but I stand open to correction.

111. On THE Baropa CoINS OF THE LAST SIX GAIKWARS. 
Plates XII—XIII. 
At the Coin Conference held in Allahabad in December 
1910 it was resolved ‘‘ that with a view to the compilation of 
a catalogue of the coins of the nineteenth century, collectors 
be asked to make notes of the Native State issues within or 
i >? Now the Native State 
ing especially Baroda coins. During a delightful week spent 
in that city I paid repeated visits both to the Museum and to 
the bazars. Inasmuch as it was only some eleven years ago 
that the mint was closed (2nd July, 1900), I had hoped to 
make while there a fairly complete collection, but fortune was 
not very favourable, and in my search Ahmadabad has proved 
quite as successful a hunting-ground as Baroda itself: yet now 
at the end of these three months I am in a position to report 
on the coins of only the last six Gaikwars. Of the present 
come : 
Unquestionably, however, the large majority of the Baroda 
coins now to be met with are of a date subsequent to A.H. 
1222, and all of these, I fancy, will be found to be of types men- — 
tioned in the present paper. With exception of the Khanderav 
Rupee A (4), all the specimens here described are in my own 
collection.
