3. Report on 148 copper coins of old date forwarded by the 

 Deputy Commissioner of Sialkot, with his No. 1926, dated 21st Decem-

These coins are stated to have been found near the village of 

 Vadalla in the Sialkot district, while digging a grave.

 obverse a Persian inscription encircling a horse, while the reverse face 

 bears a Hindi legend. This kind of coin has been described and figured

 II, fig. 14 and plate XXVII, fig. 27, 28).
