1833.] Bactrian and Indo-Scythic Coins, 411 
Figs. 6 and 7.—Two square copper coins resembling in form fig. 7 
of plate VII. weight 102 and 121 grs. 
Obverse. A figure, apparently female, holding a cornucopia on the 
left arm: the other indistinct ; legend in parallel lines, and 
evidently Greek, but only partially legible: the word Ba 
SIAEQS commences both of them. 
Reverse. The Indian Bull with its hump, encircled with the unknown 
character. Below, in both coins, the letter sigma, =, or a 
symbol of that form. 
One of these coins was found at Machwarra, a small town near the 
Satlej river, between Ludidna and Ripar ; the other in the bazar at 
Bussy, on the road from thence to Simla. Dr. Swinny considers them 
to be not only similar, but of the same die. It is not possible to do 
more than ascribe them to the Bactrian dynasty generally. 
Fig. 8.—This small copper coin, from the neighbourhood of Seha- 
ranpur, is classed among the Bactrian coins by Dr. Swiney, 
from the similarity of its monogram to that of fig. 4. The 
legend also appears Greek: the obverse has a warrior with 
a bow? and the reverse a lion, panther, or singh, which con- 
nects it with one class of the Hindu coins. 
Figs. 9, 10.—I have introduced these two of Doctor Swiney’s Bac- 
trian-horsemen, or EucratipEs,’ coin*, because the head is in 
better preservation than usual, and a letter or two more of 
the legend can be added to the scanty list hitherto elicited ; 
thus on fig. 9, we have 2OTHP META ,, and on the other 
META BACIAEYC, ‘‘the great king,” quasi Maha Raja. As far 
as the specimens hitherto discovered can prove it, the no- 
minative seems to be used in all the coins of this type, in- 
stead of the genitive, as usual on Greek medals: the termina- 
tions are also corrupted; all which circumstances tend to 
pronounce these coins to belong to the last princes of the 
race, as conjectured in ascribing them to EucratipEs. 
Fig. 14, isa small coin supposed to have Greek characters, but un- 
decypherable. 
Figs. 16, 17, 18, are drawings of three small copper coins procur- 
ed by Lieut. Burnes at Manikydla, which differ in some 
particulars from those already made public, and are on that 
account, rather than as leading to any fresh observation, now 
inserted. Fig. 16, belongs, from the side figure of the fe- 
male, stooping, and the monogram or symbol, to the Ka-
