The legends on both faces are similar to those on Type I 
except that there is no date on the reverse, the figures being 
replaced by the words “ may his khilafat be perpetuated.” 
The average weight of the coin is 56:8 grs. Two coins, 
one in the Indian Museum collection (Cat. No. 101) and one

The reverse reads :— 
‘“* Deputy-Commander of the Faithful’ 
with the date in figures below.

brothers prefixed the name of their father to the genealogical 
marginal legend.

weighs 150 grs. ; several weigh over 145 grs.
