Fig. 14, a copper coin, unique, discovered by Lieut. Conolly at 

 Ujein, and placed in my cabinet through his kindness. Obverse, a bull, 

 with a marginal legend apparently Greek, some of the letters seeming 

 to form the word CasUeus, &c. 



Rajno maha K^hatra (pa) . . . .the remainder of the legend lost. 



The letters are larger and -better formed on this than on the silver 

 coins. Most copper coins of the series exactly resemble the silver ones 

 with a head on the obverse. Col. Stacy has a good specimen, of which 

 the obverse (xlg. 27) has apparently a date. 



Fig. 16. In this silver coin found in Cutch in 1837, and presented to 

 me by Mr. Wathsn, the central emblem of the reverse is changed to 

 a kind of trident : the legend is also altered from that of a Satrap to 

 one of a paramount sovereign : 



Parama Bhanuvira Rajddhiraja Sri Kumara Gupta Mahendmsya. 

 u Of the paramount sovereign the heroic king of kings Sni Kumara Gupta Ma- 



HENDRA." 



Fig. 17, another of the same kind, having the same Sanskrit legend, 

 but behind the head the Greek letters may be read ononot, or 

 rao nano? it was presented to me with the last by Mr. Wathen. 



Figs. 18, 19, 20 and 21, have the same symbol, but the workmanship 

 is very much deteriorated. The legend on them all has at length been 

 deciphered by the collation of several specimens presented to me by Mr. 

 Wathen, and found in various parts of Cutch, Kattywar and Gujerat, 

 by Capt. Prescott, Capt. Burnes, Dr. Burn ; as well as the few 

 inserted in the plates of Mr. Steuart's coins*.

 But as I have a larger assortment of the coins of the same king, to 

 introduce into a future plate, I will postpone further mention of this 

 series for the present. 



* By a letter from Professor Wilson I learn that Mr. Steuart's Plate is to 

 appear in the Royal Asiatic Society's Journal ; but that it had time to journey 

 to India and back before tlie outcoming number went to press 1 I regret I am 

 thus deprived of the power of adding to this note the observations of the learned 

 in England on the Surashtra coins.
