A collection of twenty-seven silver and three copper coins, 

 comprising nearly all the known varieties of the coinage of the 

 Yueh-ti (published by Sir A. Cunningham in the Numismatic 

 Chronicle for 1888 and 1889). The earliest specimens, which 

 date from about the year 160 B.C., when the Yueh-ti settled 

 around the Oxus, are imitated from the Greek coinages of 

 Seleucus I, Antiochus I, Euthydemus, Eucratides, and 

 Heliocles, and are important as bearing, in some instances, 

 inscriptions in characters hitherto undeciphered. Six tetra- 

 drachms and six obols of this selection bear an inscription in 

 Greek letters, read by Sir A. Cunningham as MIAOY 2ANAB 

 KOPPANOY_ (or KOPSANO), and translated " Miaus, King 

 of the Kushans," a tribe of the Yueh-ti, who gained supre- 

 macy over the rest, and who, under their leader Kujula 

 Kadphises, invaded India, and overcame the last Greek king, 

 Herm{3eus, about B.C. 30. A unique copper coin in this selec- 

 tion may also probably be attributed to Miaus Purchased of 



Sir A. Cunningham, k.c.i.e.
