drove him from his kingdom and (abont the year A.H. 881 
[A.D. 1476], according to Firishta) Husain sank to the status 
of a jagirdar of Chunar. 
The earliest coin known of Bahlol Lodi which bears the 
mint name Jaunpur is dated A.H. 888 and probably Husain 
was in full power up to the year A.H. 883. Fiihrer states that 
Khairu-d-din Muhammad in his Jaunpiirnama gives the date 
of the final deprivation of his kingdom of Husain as A.H. 884 
(A.D. 1479). Numismatics do not at present help to elucidate 
the point as coins of Husain run in complete sequence to 
A.H. 911 and then irregularly to A.H,919. Although the 
later dated coins are posthumous we have no information as 
to who issued them and from what date Husain’s personal 
monetary issues ceased. Bahlol Lodi administered the Sharqi 
kingdom himself for several years and his coins bearing the 
Dehli kingdom was almost certainly not the true heir to that 
inheritance and Barbak engaged in an attempt to oust him. 
Barbak was defeated, surrendered to Sikandar, and was rein- 
stated on the Sharqi throne, but was eventually removed by 
Sikandar who entrusted the government of Jaunpir to that 
Jamal Khan who was destined to be the first patron of the great 
Sher Shah Sari. 
ants was responsible for the issue of posthumous coinage in 
the name of Husain Shah.
