It will be observed that the name of Mangu Khan, the name he is 

 known by in all modern histories, is here spelt on the coins in three 

 different ways, see Nos. 5, 7, 10. Nos. 1 and 2 give the mint Mmroz, the 

 mint of 3 and 4 is uncertain, 5 — 10 give Herat. No. 13 gives Gazni. Parts 

 of the Kalimah come on Nos. 11 and 14, on the reverses. No. 16 has 

 the name of the Khan on both sides. Nos. 12 and 19 have the two titles 

 ul Adil and ul Azim. No. 17 has a name on it in addition Zaid. It may 

 be this is the name of the mint-master or the die-sinker. Nos. 1 — 4 have 

 an attempt at the Kalimah on their reverses. Nos. 21 — 23 have the whole 

 of the Kalimah on their reverses together with the name of the Khalifah. 

 The Moguls were regarded by the Muhammadans of India and Afghanis- 

 tan with the greatest aversion and as utter infidels. Certainly, however, 

 Changez Khan put the Khalifah's name on the reverse of his coins. And 

 here we have Mangu Khan putting the Kalimah or parts of it on the 

 reverse of his coins. He became a Musalman as I shall show. 



* British Museum Catalogue gives this name <>*A.f.
