222 J. Rodgers — Rare Mughul Coins. [No. 2, 
(6) Anew dim from the Gwaliar mint dated 968 H., and is the 
property of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 
(7) A half dam of the Dehli mint, also belonging to the same 
Society. Itis the only half dam from the Dehli mint that I have yet 
seen, 
(8) is a coin belonging to Mr, Ellis, and probably struck by 
Shahjahan at Agra or Akbarabad. Its style agrees with some of the 
issues of Shahjahan I. I do not think it can be one of Shahjahan II 
or Shahjahan III. It is at any rate unique. 
(9) This dam and the three following were found by me at 
Ludiana. Itisfrom the Lucknow mint. On its reverse it has 1000 
in Persian words j}¢X, and in figures e+e. Ihave never seen a dam 
similar to this. Over the date is 35} sU}. The _,45t is not on this coin, 
but it comes on the following coin. 
(10) is a Dogam dim of 1001 H. I have now another Dégam 
dam of 999 with ,a%} &U) on it in full. We may regard this as an 
ascription of praise or an exclamation of joy on Islam reaching its 
thousandth year. It is a novelty on Akbar’s coins. 
(11) a dam of Chitor, dated 1005 I. 
(12) I think is a dam of Narnodl. Its date is undoubtedly 
1006 H. 
Besides these I have by me six other dams whose mints I have not 
yet had time to decipher. And besides this I obtained a few weeks 
ago a fulis of Farrukhsiyar struck at Kabul; anda few days ago a 
nim tankah of Akbar’s from the same mint : also a (65% @2yo of Aurang- 
zib’s from the Multan mint. And I have by me a small coin of Akbar’s 
from the Dehli mint, in which the [ahi year is 2533 (52 35 in Persian 
words. Truly the coinage of the Mughuls seems see I remem- 
ber about a year ago a gentleman sending me some coins to read, and 
some were from the mint osbfows” Cpsliiyts. These were coins of 
Shah ‘Alam II. and the mint is Banaras-Muhammadabad. Were all 
these novelties in one Museum, what a show they would make P_ It is 
most annoying that they should be scattered all over the country in 
private collections. If all we now know about the coinage of the 
Mughuls were collected in one book, it would make a large and 
sumptuous volume. 
Just as I had finished this, Mr. Ellis sent me No. 13, a gold coin 
weighing 5°6 grains. It has ‘ Fathptr’ on obverse, and name of coin 
not legible on reverse, perhaps ‘ Shahi.’
