as their incomprehensibility. Of all the coins of this class those of Herm^eus are 

 only intelligible (figs. 24 and 25, of our last year's memoir), and this prince seems 

 to be entitled to be held the first of the line. From a tope at Jelalabad we 

 extracted ten copper coins similar to fig. 40. The princes of this family appear 

 to have been numerous. At Jeldldbdd we have five, if not six topes to be referred 

 to them. 



No. 41. {Fig. 30.) Obverse. — Horseman. Legend Greek, but obscure, portion 

 visible OAIAI1I2I. 



Reverse. — Female figure. Legend Nysaean. 



Single specimen from Kabul. The horseman on the obverse, and the legend 

 on the reverse, enable us to refer this coin to the Greek Nysaean dynasty, but 

 the legend is too difficult for interpretation. 



Class Indo-Scythic — Series Nos. 1 and 2. 



PI. III. Fig. 1. Obverse. — Bust of king looking to the right. Sceptre in right 

 hand, four-pronged monogram behind the head. Legend Greek BACIAEVC OOH- 

 MO KAA4>ICHC. 



This is one of six golden medals of the same prince, extracted from a tope at 

 Gool Durrah near Kabul. The reverse is not given, in no wise differing from that 

 delineated in memoir of last year, fig. 24 of Indo-Scythic coins. The six medals 

 essentially agree ; but as the position of the bust varies, and there are other 

 trivial but unimportant differences observable on all of them, they will have 

 been struck at various times. 



Fig. 2. Obverse. — Bust of king looking to the left. Sceptre in right hand. 

 Legend Greek characters, PAO NANO PAO OOHPKI KOPANO. 



Reverse. — Deity or saint looking to the right, lines of glory around the head, 

 four-pronged symbol in front of figure. Legend Greek, NANA. 



This golden medal was found in the same tope with the preceding one and 

 the next to be described. The reverse NANA, enables us immediately to iden- 

 tify the prince as one of the Kanerkos family. The nature of the legend has been 

 so fully displayed in the Journal of the Asiatic Society, that it becomes needless 

 to dwell on it. 



Fig. 3. Obverse. — Bust of king looking to the left. Sceptre in right hand. 

 Legend Greek, probably same as on preceding coin, portion legible PAOOOKH- 

 PKIKO PANO. 



Reverse. — Figure of Deity or saint looking to the right. Right hand extended, 

 four-pronged symbol in front of figure. Legend Greek HIIPO. (? Mithro.) 



This golden coin found with the preceding ones noted in same tope. 



Fig. 4. Obverse. — Erect figure of prince looking to the left, right hand in act 

 of sacrificing upon an altar, left hand holding staff. Legend Greek NANOPAOKA 

 NHPKI KOPA 



Reverse. — Figure of Deity or saint looking to the right, with four-pronged 

 symbol on right hand of, and other in front of, the figure. Legend Greek 

 NANAPAO. 



Gold coin purchased in K&bul, the addition of PAO on the obverse legend 

 may be noted clearly, from position indicating holy. 



Fig. 5. Obverse. — Helmed bust of prince, looking to the left, head surrounded 

 with circles of glory. Sceptre in either hand. Legend Greek PAONANO 

 PAOOOVOKIKOPA. 



Reverse. — Figure of Deity or saint standing to the left, circles of glory around
