1922.] Numismatic Supplement No. XXXVI. N..23 
The obverse legend consists of the king’s name in a double 
circle with a marginal legend ‘ Saifu-d-dunya wa-d-din Abil- 
Muzaifar.”” The reverse legend reads ‘‘Son of Ibrahim Shah 
the Sultan ”’ followed by the date in figures. The weight is 66 
grs. and the size 0°6 inch. 5 
Copper. 
Type I.--This was the only copper coin struck by Ibrahim 
and the issue was continued by his successors. 
The obverse bore the inscription :— 
“The Khalif, Father of Victory ”’ 
followed by the date in figures ; the reverse reading :— 
“ Tbrahim Shah, the Sultan.” 
The succeeding kings retained the same obverse and pre- 
fixed their own names to that of Ibrahim to form the reverse. 
All four kings issued this type of coinage in two sizes. 
The larger sized coins of Ibrahim and Mahmid are nowadays 
much more commonly met with than are those of Muhammad 
and Husain, while the lighter weight coin of all four kings 
is scarce. Although Ibrahim and his three successors minted 
the smaller coin, dated specimens are seldom met with, only 
one dated specimen (A.H. 861) of Muhammad can be recorded, 
while of Husain I can record two dates only, viz. A.H. 866 
and 867.

Type IT is a small coin issued only by ee eet
