Note on Lieutenant Burnes? (June, 
coin is not mentioned by Pinkerton, and would doubtless be 
designated by him rrrr or rarissimus. It is engraved as fig. 1 of 
Plate VIII. (of coins) ; it was procured in Asia Minor by Dr. Martin, 
the German physician, lately in Rangi’r Srnen’s service, and by him 
given to Captain Wapz.

fig. 1, represents one of three beautiful coins of ANTIocHUS 
VI. or Tuezos, of Syria, during whose war with Protemy Pur- 
LADELPHUS, Bactria revolted. These are supposed by PinKEr- 
Ton to exhibit the most perfect examples, both of manly and 
of monetal beauty, to be found among ancient medals. They 
are however common enough. The Epigraphe is, BASIAEQS 
ANTIOXOY EMI@ANOYS. Device, Jupiter seated, holding a small 
victory. 
Another Anriocuus, probably struck in Parthia, from the figure 
of the javelin-thrower.

4,5, 6. These silver coins, tetradrachms, are known at once 
to be of Bactrian origin, from the sitting figure of Hercules 
holding his club, on the reverse, much in the same posture as 
that of Jupiter on the Syro-Macedonian coins. The epigraphe 
on fig. 3, a valuable coin and in fine preservation, 1s BASIAEQS

PINKERTON says it is a gold coin, having ‘‘ two horsemen with 
Bactrian tiaras, palms, and long spears” on the reverse ; it is 
therefore quite different from the unique specimen before us.

similar to the last, and the three final letters of BaAsIAENS are 
visible: as are ..HM.. which can only form part either of

of which there is a duplicate, is of a similar nature ; the features 
corresponding with No. 3. or Evutuypremus. There are two 
others of still ruder fabrication, distinguished by a more pro- 
jecting forehead : they are illegible on the reverse. 
One of two silver tetradachms. These are more like Arsacidan 
coins, the stool on which the figure on the reverse sits having 
the form of those depicted in Vaillant?although the connection 
with the foregoing coins is very strong, the head dress and
