No. 11.— A mohnr of Kam Bakhsh, struck at Haidarabad, here 

 called Daru-1-Jihad, ' the gate of war for religion.' 

 Obverse : — Same as on No. 3. 



Reverse :— r ^^'^e- .^^^|;'^ 



&c, &c. 

 This mohur was in the cabinet of the late Hon. J. Gibbs, 0. S. I., 

 C. I. B., who gave me an electrotype copy of it before he went home. 



No. 12. — A small, but fine mohur of Aurangzib, struck at Malika- 

 nao-ar, a place I know iiothing about. The inscription on the obverse 

 differs from that usually on the mohurs of this Sultan.

 The inscription on the obverse is found on rupees of the 1st year of 

 Aurangzib. It is not often that the year of accession (jaliis) and of the 

 Hijrah come on the same face of the coin. This mohur is in my cabinet. 



In reading these coins one must begin, as a rule, at the last line, 

 and read upwards. This is nearly always the case where coin couplets 

 are concerned. There are no less than three coin couplets on the coins 

 here described. It will be seen from the rupees of Kam Bakhsh, how 

 difficult it is to read the whole couplet from a single coin. 



The subject of conversation was Xavier's Historia Ohristi Persica by 

 H. Beveridge, Esq.
