On a Coin of Kunanda from Karndl. — By Ba'bu Ra'jendeala'la Mitea. 



(With a woodcut.) 



The mintage of which the woodcut at the end of this article is a re- 

 presentation is well known to Indian numismatists. It has been noticed 

 by Prinsep, Wilson, Cunningham, and others ; and in a learned essay in the 

 first volume of the New Series of the Royal Asiatic Society's Journal (pp. 

 447 ff.), Mr. Thomas has described it at great length and in full detail. 

 There are, however, a few points in connexion with it which the uncommonly 

 fine specimen presented to the Society by the Rev. M. M. Carleton of Karnal 

 enables me to explain with some confidence. 



In all essential particulars, Mr. Carleton's specimen is identically the 

 same as the British Museum one figured by Mr. Thomas. It has on the 

 obverse the curiously-antlered deer, the lady with a lotus, the square mono- 

 gram, and the Western Cave character legend, so graphical^ described by Mr. 

 Thomas, and all the Buddhist symbols, and the Bactrian or Ariano-Pali 

 legend, noticed by him on the reverse of the British Museum specimen. The 

 size is exactly the same, and the configuration of the symbols is identical, 

 except of the rectangular monogram, the cross line in the middle of which is 

 very faint and scarcely visible. The style of some of the old Sanskrit charac- 

 ters in which the Pali legend is givem, is, however, different, and it proves the 

 coin before me to have been struck from a different die from what was used for 

 the British Museum specimen. Owing to its better state of preservation, its 

 Weight, too, is greater, being SIT grains against 29 grains of the other.
