the Gujarat Fabric coins as identical with the Strat Mahmidis, 
we may further unhesitatingly accept as true Mandelslo’s express 
statement that these coins were “ made at Strat.” For acurrency 
purely local there was a purely local mintage. The capital city of 
the province, Ahmadabad, issued imperial rupees in the very year 
of the imperial conquest ; but soon thereafter the less important 
city in the south, Siirat, opened with, we may well believe, im- 
perial sanction, a mint of its own, whence for some forty years 
issued not indeed ‘“ Ropias Chagam” but the Strat Mahmidi, 
known to-day as the coins of “ Gujarat Fabric.”

46. On some “ GENEALOGICAL” COINS OF THE GusaRat SALTANAT, 
On the occasion of a recent visit to Bombay it was my good 
fortune to visit the rooms of the Bombay Branch of the Royal 
Asiatic Society in the company of my kind friend Mr. Framji 
Jamaspji Thanawala. He had previously written me that in the 
Society’s cabinet he had discovered two coins of the Gujarat Sal- 
tanat, remarkable since bearing the pedigree of the regnant Sultan 
traced back, in each case, to the founder of the dynasty. Two 
such, if we may so call them, “genealogical” coins of Gujarat 
haye already been published, one in Thomas’ “ Pathan Kings,” and 
the other in the Journal of the Bo. Br. R.A.S. No. LVIII. A 
description of all the four coins now known of this extremely rare- 
type may prove of interest.
