1885.] E. T. Atkinson — Notes on Indian Rliyncliota, 97 



This silver coin which appears to be unique comes from the Kangra 

 Valley. I was riding through the district last June, when I turned into 

 a village in the hope that I should find some specimen coins of the 

 Kangra Rajas. I was entirely unsuccessful, but as I was leaving the 

 village, a silversmith ran after me and offered me this coin for which I 

 paid him six annas. At first I imagined it to be a pure Bactrian, but 

 the absence of the Greek letters puzzled me. Subsequently I referred 

 it to General Cunningham who was good enough to interpret it for me. 

 The following is the portion of his letter referring to it. 



" 8imla, lUh June, 1885. 

 " Mt dear Sie, 



" I thought that I had an impression of a small silver coin like 

 yours, but yesterday on opening a packet of impressions in lead I found 

 that my memory had deceived nae, and that your coin is a new one. 



" The types of Elephant and Bull are the same as on your coin ; but 

 the name is different. I read your coin as follows : 



Under the Elejphant. 

 Bhagevata Mahadevasa Rajaraja. 

 Under the Bull. 

 3 r jr s V. de h m t. v. g. bh. 

 *' Bhdgavata means the worshipper of Bhagavata. The king's name 

 is therefore Mahadeva. 



" The other coin of which I have an impression is in the Lahore 

 Museum — and there is a duplicate of it in England, in the possession of 

 Mrs. Freeling. 



*' I remain, 



" Yours sincerely, 

 "A. Cunningham."
