Years, and others with marks which are apparently mint marks. 



These marks include ^ , \^ , O , V , <^, S2f , and Maltese 



crosses of various sizes, mostly at the bottom of the obverse. 

 Coins of Regnal Years 1 (at bottom of reverse, and also at bottom 

 of both obverse and reverse), 5, 6 (one at bottom of obverse, 

 and the other at bottom of reverse), 7, 8, 9, and 16 occur. A 

 reproduction of a curious half-coin with regnal year 9 at the 

 bottom of the obverse and *! at the bottom of the reverse is 

 given as Fig. 5, of Plate XXVI; and six half-rupees were also 



('Disai') at the bottom of the 

 obverse, which presumably date from either 1716 or 1717. 



One-thirty-second muhurs and ^rupees also appear for 

 the first time among the coins of Gaurlnatha, and in certain cases 

 Gaurl is misspelt (c^ftfir instead of (fifoft). A similar mistake also 

 occurs in the half-rupee of Jogesvara ( wde Plate XXVI, Fig. 13), 

 as well as in that of Lakshml Simha (*ri%r instead of *ra^).

Coins of Bharatha, Sarvananda and Kamalesvara 



(Kin aram)» 



The coins of the two usurpers, Bharatha Simha at Rang- 

 pur and Sarvananda Sirhha at Bengmara, are characterised by 

 the introduction in both cases, on the reverse, of Krishna 

 instead of Hara GaurT, while Bharatha Simha on the obverse of 

 his coins claims to be of the lineage of Bhagadatta, the famous 

 King of Pragjyotishpur. All of Bharatha Simha's rupees are 

 stated by Mr Allan to bear the same inscription, but in the 

 case of Sarvananda, coins are found with a different one to 

 that given by Mr. Allan on p. 327 of his paper. Specimens of 

 both types are reproduced as Figs. 6 and 7 of Plate XXVI, and 

 it will be seen that the Shillongcoin of 1716 differs from the coin 

 of 1717 by reading Nripasya for Narendrasya, while the three 

 last lines of the reverse read (2) char ana kamala, (3) makaranda 

 ma, (4) dhukarasya instead of (2) padapadmadvanda , (3) makar- 

 andabrinda, (4) madhukarasya. Three different half-rupees of Sar- 

 vananda also occurred in the Daflating find and are now in the 

 Shillong Cabinet. They will be found reproduced in Figs. 8, 9 

 and 10 of Plate XXVI at the end of this paper. The conclusion 

 of the inscription on the obverse reads either Narendrasya or 

 Nripasya, while the three variations in the reverse are Sri Sri 

 Krishna pada parayanasya, Sri Sri Krishna madhukarasya and 

 Sri Sri Krishna charana madhukarasya. 



The coins of Bharatha Simha of 1718 and 1719 prove his 

 identity with the " Bharathi Raja" mentioned by Mr. Gait as 

 having broken into revolt immediately after the announcement 

 of Gaurlnatha' s death, and he appears to have taken the place
