V. Report on 792 old copper coins forwarded by the Offg. Col- 

 lector of Monghyr, with his No. 721R, dated the 1st August 1891. 



The coins are stated to have been found in January 1889, buried 

 in the garden of Hazari Shahti of Mouza Bargazar, Pargana Salimabad, 

 outpost Lakhi Sarai. 



A very large number of the coins are not in a sufficiently good state 

 of preservation to be fully identified ; but they all belong to the coinage 

 of the Sultans of Jaunpur, and to the so-called "second size " of their 

 copper coins, as described in the Catalogue of the British Museum on 

 the Coins of the Muhammadan States of India, p. 89. Of these copper 

 coins, there are two types : one with simple lettered surfaces, the other 

 with a circular area on the reverse. The former is a very common 

 type ; the latter is rather rare. The coins, under review, all belong to 

 the common type. Four of them together weigh 1| tola, and six of 

 them are equal to one anna, or each of them is equal to 2 pice (1 pice 

 = -5^ anna). 



Those specimens, that I have been able to identify, are thus distri- 

 buted : 



1, IbrahIm Shah, called SJiarqi, A. H. 803 — 844 = A. D. 



1400—1440 ; like B. M. Cat., Nos. 238, ... 86 



2, Mahmud Shah, bin Ibrahim, A. H. 844 — 861 = A. D. 



1440—1456 ; like B. M. Cat., No. 273, ... 98
