Coins. 



The currency of Peshawur was formerly the same as that of Cabul ; 

 but since the conquest of it by the Sikhs, the money system has under- 

 gone a great change and become more intricate on account of the 

 introduction of foreign coins, such as the Nanukshahee: Nou Nihal- 

 Sunghee and other rupees. The present money system is described 

 as under.
