The reading of isj'^^hi^' is speculative : the letters are distinct, as are 

 also the two dots of the ^s, but that letter itself cannot be traced, and the 

 AHsible remains of the character succeeding the letters are more like I or j*-' 

 than the suggested (_5j. 



Mr. Blochmann said — 



The coins described by Mr. Thomas belong to Col. Guthrie. They had 

 been photographed, and he had much pleasure in submitting a copy to the 

 members. 



The valuable coins of Iltitmish (Altamsh) marked 11, 12, 13, on the 

 photograph, have enabled Mr. Thomas to give a correct reading of the unique 

 gold coin of that king, published on p. 78 of his ' Chronicles of the Pathan 

 Kings.'
