This coin is peculiar on account of the elongated downstrokes of thei 

 letters on the reverse, resembling a row of organ pipes. The legend on 

 the obverse is an exact reproduction of that on some of the coins of the 

 Delhi Emperor Feroz Shah, during whose reign the Jaunpur Sultanat took 

 its rise. (7) A copper coin, the legends of which are too much worn to be 

 distinguished. The head on the obverse has the appearance of being 

 Roman ; the figure on the reverse may be Ceres (?), and there appears to 

 be a monogram B. 



Dr. Hoernle exhibited and described 12 coins of the later Delhi Em- 

 perors. They were selected from a large hoard of 200 coins, found at Nya 

 Doomka in the Santhal Pergunnahs. Among them were four gold mohurs, 

 one of Muhammad Farrukh Sir, dated 1126 A. H., mint Akbarabad, regnal 

 year 2 ; one of Muhammad Shah, date 1148 A. H., mint Jahanabad (?) 

 regnal year 18 ; one of ditto, date 1161 A. H., regnal year 30 (the last of 

 his reign ; the latest of his coins, noticed by Marsden in his Oriental Coins T 

 p. 669, is four years earlier, of 1157 A. H.) ; one of Shah 'Alam, date 

 1202 A. H. y struck by the English Government in Calcutta. The others 

 are silver Rupees of Shah 'Alam, of various dates, four struck by the Eng- 

 lish in Calcutta, four other struck by the Nawab of Oudh. The latter have 

 the symbol (fish) and name of Benares and are dated 1209, 1226, 1228, 

 1229 A. H.
