and Mohammad Adil Shah. The total number of their coins does 

 not exceed 150, or about one-fiftieth of the whole. There is only- 

 one type of each reign and of the earlier kings not more than 

 two or three specimens each. The coins of Tughlak Shah and 

 Mohammad Adil are of new types, the latest coin in the hoard is 

 that of Adil Shah who ascended the throne of Delhi in 1552, and 

 the hoard therefore must have been buried within a few years 

 after that date, or about three hundred years ago. The number of 

 Adil Shah's coins does not, however, exceed a couple : the great 

 bulk of the hoard is made up of coins of the 13th and 14th centuries, 

 it must therefore have been collected two centuries before it was 

 buried. 



" The following is the list of the different kinds of coins found in 

 the trove ; —
