126 Coins of the Nine Nagas. [No. 3, 
figure is partly cut off. On a second coin the date is S. 83, and on a 
third S. 90 odd, the unit being cut off. Here we see that the last two 
dates must undoubtedly refer to the same century as that of the first 
coin, because the name of the prince and the fabric of the coins are 
precisely the same. Of the second prince named Chdhada Deva, I 
have numerous specimens, bearing various dates from 1303 to 1311, of 
-which Figs. 27 and 28 give S. 1305 and S. 1311. Of the third 
prince, named A’sala Deva, the specimens, though numerous, are always 
small and much worn, and the dates are therefore generally imperfect. 
Two of the more perfect coins, however, give the dates of 1311 and 
1312, and a third has 1330 odd: see Figs. 29 and 30. In illustration 
of these coins, [have engraved a curious specimen of the contemporary 
coinage of Ala-ud-din Masaiid, Fig. 23, which bears on the obverse 
the well known recumbent Bull with the Nagari legend Sri Ala-va- 
dina and the date of 1300, inserted on the quarter of the Bull. This 
date must certainly refer to the Vikramiditya Samvat as Masaiid 
reigned from A. D. 1242 to 1246, and S. 1300 is equal to A. D- 
1243. 
13. The coins of this third series of Narwar princes are found 
chiefly about Gwalior, Jhansi, and Narwar, but a few stray specimens 
may be picked up at Agra and Mathura. The obverse bears the rude 
figure of a horseman which is only traceable on the coins of Asala 
Deva by comparing them with the earlier pieces of Malaya Varmma. 
A brief description will therefore be sufficient for this barbarous 
coinage.
