Bactrianand Sassanian coins in the possession of Capt Hay, Bengal 



Engineers JRegt. 



Note.— As Capt. Hay, most kindly put me in possession of drawings of 

 the more valuable part of his collection, with such notes as his imperfect 

 means of reference at Bameean enabled him to furnish, I thought I could 

 not better repay the uniform support with which he has favoured me, than 

 by availing myself of the offer of my friend Lieut. Cunningham, to remark 

 at length upon his coins, thus submitted for the deliberate opinion of an 

 excellent numismatist. 



I need merely preface these remarks, by briefly noticing that the coins 

 represented in Plate I. " were found together in an earthen pot at Ba- 

 meean", and that the others were chiefly procured at Cabool. Nos. 

 9, and 13, however, of Plate iv. are from Bulkh. If Capt. Hay could trust 

 the latter out of his possession, its examination might add perhaps 

 some material point to the mass of valuable information, which numis- 

 matic research has elicited regarding the hitherto obscure history of former 

 dynasties in central Asia.
