A Dholpur rupee of Muhammad Akbar II was also included 

 in Mr. Burn's list just mentioned. For the word following 



Dholpur, Dr. Taylor suggests *?xJd, a Turkish word meaning 

 pistol, but my specimen, which is quite clear, does not bear 

 out this reading.

This is a copper coin of Bahadur Shah II of Haidarabad 

 mint. The White King Collection contained a gold coin,— 

 Catalogue, Part III, No. 4203, — and a silver coin of the 

 same dates and similar inscriptions as this copper coin, was

of the Mughal Emperors,' Numismatic Chronicle, Vol. II, 

 pp. 275-309. 



I only publish this coin because the mint has been re- 

 cognized by Mr. Burn in his Tables as one of Bahadur Shah II. 

 On the other hand the power of this emperor was entirely 

 bounded by the walls of Fort Dehli, and the coins struck 

 elsewhere in his name are not even of the type of those struck 

 in Shahjahanabad, that is, they are not of the imperial type. 

 I should prefer to see only the Shahjahanabad coins recognized 

 as being imperial issues, while those struck at other mints 

 designated as what they really are, the issues of independent 

 States. 



Since writing the above 1 have come across the following 

 rare coins, on which I add brief notes. The mohurs and rupees 

 are of the usual weight and size.

 Square areas type as illustrated in I.M. Catalogue, Vol. Ill,
