26 Memoir on the Ancient Coins of Beghrdm. [Jan. 



No. 26. Obverse. — Humped bull, with monogram over the hump, and another 

 under the head. Legend Greek, obscure. (See vol. iv. PL XXII. Jiffs. 1, 2, 3.) 



Reverse. — Monstrous animal, with symbolical monogram over the back. Legend, 

 characters doubtful. 



One of three specimens procured at Jelaldbad ; the legend is in pure Greek 

 characters, and by comparison is undoubtedly BASIAEnS BA2IAEHN MErAAOY 

 A20T. The characters on the reverse legend I apprehend not to be Bactrian, 

 but rather Nysaean. The monograms on these coins vary : one specimen gives the 

 form «|ij over the hump of the bull, and this coincides with the monogram on 



No. 25, with Jj§& over the animal on the reverse : this form occurs on No. 23. 



Unidentified Coins. 



No. 27. Obverse.— Elephant. Legend defaced. (Vol. iv. PI. XXI. jig. II.) 



Reverse. — Seated figure with trident. Legend defaced. 



This is a single specimen from Kabul. In absence of the legend, it may be 

 pronounced Greek. 



No. 28. Obverse. — Rampant lion. Legend Greek, obscure. 



Reverse. — Humpedbull. Legend Bactrian. (Omitted by mistake; like Azoscoin.) 



This type was represented last year ; the present has afforded no new specimen, 

 and we introduce it again, that it may not be lost sight of, and because we sus- 

 pect part of the legend to bear the character AHM€<f>0. We at first inclined to 

 read it AHMHTPIOT, but we presume the character €, which is decisively plain, 

 will not allow it. 



No. 29. (PI. II. fig. 18.) Obverse. — Bust, head bound with fillet or diadem. 

 Legend Greek, portion legible OHTOPO. 



Reverse. — Enthroned figure, probably Jupiter. Legend Bactrian. 



This is a single specimen from Beghram, which had nearly given us the name 

 of another Greek king, for after the insertion of the word BA2IAEH5, there 

 will be only room for one or two letters more, the first O may perhaps be a A. 



No. 30. (Fig. 19.) Obverse. — Helmed bust, bearded. 



Reverse. — Standing figure. Legend, unknown characters. 



This is a single specimen from Beghram ; the characters on the reverse are 

 singular, and may have some affinity with those on the coins of Agathocles 

 and Pantaleon. 



No. 31. (Fig. 20.) Obverse. — Bust, head bound with fillet or diadem. Legend 

 Greek, but defaced. 



This is a single specimen from Beghram. A fragment of a coin, the reverse 

 quite smoothed. 



No. 32. (Fig. 21.) Reverse Figure erect, legend, unknown characters. 



This is a single specimen from Beghram, the obverse had been hammered 

 smooth : the characters, besides being singular, appear to vary on either side of 

 the inscription ; those to the right resemble the legends of Agathocles and 

 Pantaleon. 



Class Grecian — Series No. 4. Coins of Nyseean Kings. 



Nos. 33 to 40. (Figs. 23 to 29.) Obverses. — Busts, head bound with fillet or 

 diadem. Legends Greek, but illegible. 



These figures represent the types of the very numerous coins of this descrip- 

 tion found, which have invariably on the reverse an erect figure of Hercules, 

 resting on his club. They are given to shew the varieties of the legends, as well
