This is a most interesting find. Most of the Gujarati coins and 

 some of Sher Shah are new, hitherto not known or at least not pub- 

 lished. Most of them, as shown by their catalogue, are not represented 

 in the British Museum Collection, 



III. Report on six old silver coins forwarded by the Deputy Com- 

 missioner of Jalandar, with his No. 752, dated J 2th June, 1891. 



The Deputy Commissioner's letter merely states that 39 coins were 

 found buried in the Jalandar district, but no particulars are given as 

 to the exact place and time of discovery. 



Those 39 coins are stated to have comprised 4 of Aurangzib, 2 of 

 Farrukh Siyar and 33 of Muhammad Shah, all three Moghul emperors 

 of Delhi, reigning between 1658 and 1748 A. D., a period of nearly one 

 century. The coins accordingly were probably buried during the 

 troubles of Nadir Shah's invasion of India. 



From among the 39 coins, 6 only were sent down to be ex- 

 amined and reported on, two of each kind. These were found to be of 

 very common descriptions. 



IV. Report on fifty old rupees forwarded by the Deputy Commis- 

 sioner of Wardha, with his No. 3424; dated 3rd July 1891.
