II. Report on 740 Silver Coins forwarded by the Deputy Commis- 

 sioner of the Bannu District, Pan jab, with his No. 1430, dated 26th 

 December,* 1895. 



These coins are stated to have been found in a ** place called the 

 Akra mounds, lying nine miles south of Bdwardsabad in the Bannu 

 District." They were " found, buried in one pot, by a person who had 

 gone to the mounds to dig earth in July 1896." 



They are small silver coins of the size of a modern four anna piece ; 

 and with one exception, belong to Sabaktigin, one of the early members 

 of the Ghaznavi dynasty, who reigned from 366-387 H. or 976-997 

 A.D. The exception is a coin of the Hindu dynasty of Kabul, of the 

 Bull and Horseman type, -with Bhima over the horseman, and (^ri Savianta 

 Beva over the bull.
