This interesting coin can be nothing but a couplet coin of 

 Shah Jahan II, and as such is quite a novelty. The mint is 

 Tatta, and there is a Tatta rupee of Shah Jahan II of the 

 ordinary type in the Lahore Museum. 



The couplet is probably something like this : 



Muhammad Shah. 



In my Bahawalpur paper I mentioned half mohurs of 

 Muhammad Shah struck at Shahjahanabad and Sind mints. 



The legends of the first are identical with those on the 

 usual type of gold and silver coin struck at Dehli during this 

 reign. The Sind coin is different, and I give a revised reading 

 below.

In spite of the redundant alif, the reverse inscription is 

 probably intended to be « Zarb ul arar sahib uz zaman that is 



struck 



e „ All 



mohurs bore regnal date twelve, and I saw no trace of the 

 hijri year on any of them.
