1836.] New types of Bactrian and Indo-Scythic Coins. 723 



HOV- The same is met with on one of the couch-lounger coins 

 extracted from the Manikyala tope, (see fig. 29, PI. xxii. Vol. III.) 

 It may possibly be a perversion of the tri-literal MAO. But the horns 

 of the moon do not appear on the shoulders. 



Fig. 13. A rare and valuable variety of the Kenranos coin in Dr. 

 Swiney's cabinet, of which Captain Cunningham has a less perfect 

 duplicate ; the obverse legend, hardly legible, must be pao nano pao, 

 &c. The reverse has the standing female figure with the horn of 

 plenty, and legend APAOXPO, as on the gold coins of the same device. 



Fig. 14 should have been introduced in tny last plate, among 

 what I have supposed the fourth series of APAOKPO imitations. This 

 coin, of which Dr. Swiney possesses several equally legible, has the 

 legend APAOXPO quite distinct, proving that this group must be 

 regarded, not as an imitation but as the direct descendant of the Mi- 

 thraic series in the Kanerkan line. The appearance of Nagari on one 

 of my coins must be regarded therefore as Greek. It is curious that 

 Masson should not have detected a single letter on all the specimens 

 he amassed. Some faint remains of them are traceable on those from 

 Behat. 



Fig. 15 is a duplicate of Masson's coin, fig. 15, of my last Bactrian 

 plate, in Dr. Swiney's possession. A few of the Pehlevi characters 

 are better made out, but the proprietor of this coin still eludes us. 



Figs. 16, 17, 18. I terminate this plate with three coins of Kodes 

 in Capt. Cunningham's cabinet purchased from the late General 

 Arnold's collection, of an entirely new reverse. They are all of 

 silver, deeply indented to throw the head out. The letters kua. . 

 are visible on the smallest of the three, which is otherwise of the best 

 execution. The horse's head of the reverse gradually deteriorates until 

 it can be no longer recognized (as in 18) without the earlier coins as 

 objects of comparison. On cleaning one of my Kodes coins, it was 

 found likewise to have the horse's head reverse ; and the horse has 

 been since traced to the Chouka Dooka, or degraded Saurashtra series 

 in some specimens also purchased from the estate of the late General 

 Arnold. 



Postscript. I cannot delay one moment announcing a very suc- 

 cessful reading by Professor Lassen of Bonn, of the native legend 

 on the coin of Agathocles depicted in Vol. III. PI. ix. fig. 17, by 

 Masson, and again engraved last month as fig. 9 of PI. XXXV. The 

 following is an extract from the Professor's letter this moment re- 

 ceived. " The legend on the coin of Agathocles, is in my opinion, in 

 another character, and I think we may recognize in U A Q x t c
