1. These coins appear to have been found by some children of the 

 village of Deolokkan, near Baniyapur, in the Sarnn district.

 commonly called " Indo-Sassanian " (see Prinsep's Indian Antiquities, 

 Vol. I, p. 32, 402-410). Coins of this class are fonnd in large numbers,

 specimens ; one of them is broken in two, apparently for the purpose of 

 testing the metal.
