Wane; it is a copper or brass coin of Antiochus, BASIAEQS 
ANTIOXOY, With a Grecian head on the obverse, and the per- 
spective view of the after part of a boat on the reverse: the 
tiller of the rudder is worked from-Dehindlas is even now the aS 
case in the river craft of the Indus. , ~» 2éZ PIZ o W” gp bee ene 
A ruby seal antique, with a well-executed head of a Grecian female, “~<a 
was found at the same place. 
Figs. 11, 12, 13, 15. The series of small copper coins found near A/a- 
nikydla, and generally throughout upper India, which have a 
head on the obverse and a Bactrian horseman on the reverse, may 
be referred to the reign of Eucratipus I. since the gold coin 
from the neighbourhood of the Caspian Sea, described by Barzr, 
as having the same device on the reverse bears in legi- 
ble characters the epigraphe ‘‘ of the great king Evcratipgs.” 
Our coins of this type have never shewn us more than the words 
«‘ King of kings,’ and in most of them (as fig. 13, BACIAET 
BACIAEY) the Greek is so corrupted as to give the idea of a later 
epoch. ‘| 
The type of the horse seems to have prevailed long afterwards in 
that part of the world, as fig. 14 evinces : it is a Hindé coin, of much 
later though of unknown date. The nagri letters appear to be part of 
a larger inscription: their purport is therefore uncertain.

hood of Manikydla. 
Obverse. A king or warrior holding a spear in the left hand; and with 
the right sacrificing on a small altar (?). Epigraphe BACIAETc

Reverse. A priest or sage standing, and holding a flower in his right 
hand; a glory encircles his head; on the left, the letters Nanaia 
—on the right, the usual Bactrian monogram with four prongs. 
This coin is of very great value, from the circumstance of its being 
the only one out of many discovered in the same neighbourhood, upon 
which the characters are sufficiently legible to afford a clue to the 
Prince’s name. In the onset however we are disappointed to find 
that none of the recorded names of the Bactrian kings at all resemble 
that before us*; yet there can be no doubt about any letter but that 
* By way of convenience to those who have not the power of reference respect- 
‘ing the history of Bactria, to which I may often have to allude in the discussion 
of these coins, I subjoin a catalogue of its Kings, according to the authority of
