XII. Report on 317 old Silver Coins forwarded by Collector of 

 Mymensingh with his No. 104, dated 15th April, 1898. 



The coins were found on the 27th December, 1897, by one Girish 

 Chandra Aich Roy of Jashodal, Station Kishoregunge, Post Office 

 Jashodal, in District Mymensingh. They are Rupees of different 

 Bengal Sultans ; a few coins belong to the Bahmani Sultan Taju-d-din 

 Firoz Shah, to the Siiri Kings Islam Shah and Muhammad Shah, and the 

 Mughal Emperor Humayun. As is the case with nearly all the Bengal 

 coins, they are generally much disfigured by shroffmarks, a few specimens 

 being too badly damaged as to be identified at all. There are a few rare 

 specimens among this find, which possess great numismatic value ; the 

 majority, however, belongs to more or less known and common types. 



Coins of Bengal Sultans:
