not know. But I have three copper coins of his, with the name on, beyond 
a doubt. On the silver coin too the name is unmistakeable. But history is 
silent about him, and no list of Kashmir kings that I have seen contains 
his name. Unfortunately the year is altogether rubbed off. Archzologi- 
eal explorations in Kashmir should reveal something about this Sultan. It 
is possible that some of the Sultans may have rejoiced in several names, and 
that the one by which he is known to historians is not the one on the coins. 
We have several instances of this in Indian numismatics. I have not given 
this king’s coins, though I possess three of them. I reserve them for fur- 
ther light, research may throw upon them. 
By me just now I have a coin of Dr. Stulpnagel’s. It is of a Kash- 
mir Maharajah. It reads Sri Pesuta Jaya Siiha. This has not yet been 
identified. I have one of my own which reads Java Deva Deva. This I 
am going to publish though not able to identify the coin. Further study 
of these coins will give us fuller results. Hitherto numismatists have 
somewhat neglected them. They (the coins) are filthy looking, very much 
worn and being nearly illegible are too hard nuts for one to crack in leisure 
hours, inasmuch as the lines left are so hard to make out that only long 
study enables any one to feel any certainty about any point. The Kashmir 
Sultans as given in Prinsep’s Tables are as follows :—
