A.H. 830, 831 and 836 while the record of issue of Type II is 
complete from A.H. 840 to A.H. 843, both years inclusive. 
Type I1.—This is the “ organ-pipe”’ type ; a name derived 
from the J'ughra form of the reverse legend, an innovation 
apparently copied from the issue of Jalalu-d-din Muhammad 
Shah of Bengal. the earliest of whose coins in the T'ughra 
form is, as far as I know, A.H. 821. (cf. I.M.C. No. 107.) 
The obverse legend follows that of Type I except that the 
title ‘Commander of the Faithful” is altered to ‘‘ Deputy- 
Commander of the Faithful.’’ The marginal inscription how- 
ever remains the same. Qn the reverse Ibrahim expresses his 
religious beliet by prefixing the legend— 
“The one who trusts in the support of the Merciful” 
to his title 
‘“* Abul Muzatfar Ibrahim Shah, the Sultan.” 
The coins of Mahmid and Husain in this type bear the 
same obverse legend as those of Ibrahim but the reverse 
legend, in the case of the issue of Mahmad reads :— 
“Minted by the Sultan Saifu-d-dunya wa-d-din Abil- 
Mujahid Mahmid son of Ibrahim.” 
The legend on the reverse of the coin of Husain reads :— 
‘‘ Strengthened in the support of God Husain Shah (son 
of) Mahmiid Shah (son of) Ibrahim Shah, the Sultan, may 
his kingdom be perpetuated.”’ 
The use of two kunyats by Mahmid Shah has already 
been mentioned. j 
W eights.—There are too few gold coins of the Sharqi kings 
available on which to conjecture even approximatel y the weight 
ofissue. [can dono better than give below the present weights 
of the various coins which have come to my notice.
