Coin Cabinet. 



During the year 63 coins were added to the Cabinet, of which 2 

 were of gold, 57 of silver and 4 of copper. One of the two gold coins, 

 a Kufi coin found in Seistan, was acquired by purchase ; the four copper 

 coins were presented to the Society by Kaviraj Shyamal Das of 

 Udaipiir, in connection with his paper on the ancient remains at Nagari 

 in Meywar, published in the Journal Part I. ; all the rest were acquired 

 under the Treasure Trove Act, and were from the Bengal Presidency. 

 Detailed descriptions of the coins are given in the Society's Proceedings 

 for January and November, with the exception of the four copper coins, 

 which were so defaced as to be past identification.
