Owing to the coin being somewhat worn, it is difficult to say with 
certainty what the couplet is. The following is given as an 
alternative suggestion.

The words on the reverse read by Mr. Thanawala as why and 
93 ave, think, unmistakeably &% and 5. Similarly, I do not think 
that the penultimate line of the obverse can be read as » @&. The 
second letter is much more like a 8 than a 6S, and it is followed by 
what is clearly a % The rhythm of Mr. Thanawala’s couplet. 
also appears to be defective. Dr. Taylor of Ahmadabad, who has 
also seen the coin, has suggested that the last three words on the 
obverse read > ») &!. He would make the % at the end of the 
penultimate line the last letter of the word %l& in the second line. 
It is true the % of %l& is not visible elsewhere on the coin but 
the coin is very much worn to the left of b& where one would expect 
to find the letter %. Also there is no “ alzf” on the coin, and as 
far as I can see no room for any.

35. Dawar Bakhsh. P|. IV. 7. 
The coins of this grandson of Jahangir who occupied the 
throne of Dehli for three months as a stop-gap for Shahjahan are 
so scarce that it is worth while chronicling any finds. A rupee 
of Lahore mintage has been described and figured in the Cata- 
logue of the British Museum (Moghul Emperors, No. 527). A 
second was contained in the collection of the late Pandit Ratan 
Narain of Delhi, and the coin described below, which was obtained 
by me at Meerut in March last, is, I believe, the only other known. 
All three are identical in legend. No gold coins of Dawar Bakhsh 
have apparently come to light yet, but doubtless some were struck.
