The Devanagari, inscription has altogether omitted the 
7a C6 
superscribed mat owel), the subscribed varadu (‘u’ 
vowel), and the anusvara (nasal) symbols. Thus we find 
asca for €eua. 
sat = for @az, 
wa for ew. 
sant for ant ( = war). 
and #¥ret for aeiet. 
Samsher is a quite possible Gujarati form for Shamsher; 
but malware, Gayikavada, as found on this coin. instead of 
waeais, Gayakavada, is, I fear,a blunder, pure and simple. 
On the reverse the Gaikwar’s name appears in Persian 
characters as 50'S, which, of course, reads as Kahanderav. 
In the same year 1287, however, a variant of this type of 
Tupee was also struck, in which the letters of the name are 
ranged normally, and the spelling is now correct, thus slot”, 
Khanderav.
