whatsoever of any inscription. Some 24 still show traces of letters on one 

 or both sides, but not sufficient to be readable. The remaining 26 show 

 more or less distinct traces of their dates and mints. From these I have 

 been able to ascertain, that their mint town is Ddr us Saltanat Shah 

 Jehdndhddj i, e., Delhi, and that their dates are the following : 

 17 specimens are dated 1068 A. H. = 1857-58 A. D. 



1 „ „ 1075 „ = 1664-65 A. D. 



3 „ „ 1075 „ = 1664-65 A. D. 



The Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan of Delhi reigned up to the 

 year 1068 A. H., while his son and successor Aurangzeb reigned from 

 1068-1118 A. H. The earlier specimens of 1068 might therefore belong to 

 Shah Jehan ; but they might also belong to Aurangzeb. On the other hand, 

 the traces which remain of the emperor's name, though too imperfect 

 to be decipherable, seem to be alike on all the coins ; and as all the 

 ascertained dates agree with Aurangzeb' s reign, I conclude that they 

 must all be ascribed to that emperor of Delhi.
