the date correctly, and makes both the coins of the 8th century of the 
Hijirah. Some years ago I came across some Nimroz coins of the Safavis 
of Persia ; after that some coins of Nasr, brother of Mahmud, came into 
my hands. These were all in silver. Shortly afterwards I came across 
some copper Nimroz coins, and I purchased them from their owner who 
hailed from Qandahar. Then some plated coins came from the same 
city along with a gold coin, and I bought the lot. Some of these are 
described in my Lahore Museum Catalogue. I sold the gold coin to, I think, 
Mr. L. White King, along with some of the plated coins. The Safavi 
coins are now dispersed, some being in the Lahore Museum and some in 
the British Museum. Coins 12* and 15a in the Supplement to the 
B. M. Catalogue of Persian coins, p. 265 and 256, were from me. It 
will thus be seen that I have been interested in coins from the Nimrodz 
mint for sometime. It will be remembered that in my paper on “‘ Some 
coins from Qandahar”’ I gave some from this mint. Hence when the 
coins of the Society were sent up to me to be catalogued, I at once saw 
there were no less than 29 coins in silver and nine in copper from this 
mint.
