coinage. Of these Indo-Scj'thian coins there are 47 in the present 

 collection. 



The whole of the remainder of the coins are cast coins, and verj 

 crude imitations of those of Kanerki, They all show two standing 

 figures, one on each face of the coin, with their arms in varying positions. 

 There is no legend, but most of them are marked with a crescent placed in 

 varying parts of the field. Accordingly they may be distributed into 

 the following classes and varieties.

 pointing down, 1. arm raised, rev., r. arm down-

 struck or cast.
