Specimen II. 

 This is a coin presented to me by General Ventura to complete my 

 series of the Patan sovereigns of Delhi, being- the only one of the foun- 

 der of that dynasty which I had yet seen. Since then Captain Burnes 

 has favored me with the sight of a duplicate in less perfect preservation, 

 procured by himself, I believe, at Cabul. I give it as a specimen of 

 what Rupography can do under the most unfavourable conditions.
