At the close of the meeting, Mr. N. A. Belletty presented to the 

 Society four Jynthia coins. 



Babu Pratapa Chandra Ghosha, Assistant Secretary, has since 

 sent the following note regarding these coins. 



" They are silver Jayanti coins. As usual, they bear no names of 

 kings. 



Area I.— 9l^)f*t^?T«l ^STcT W^^J 

 Of the Honey-worker of the lotus at the foot of the most glorious Siva. 



Area II.— t)i§)StWr «J7T ^"^^J *TtC^ 5^frO 

 Of the illustrious sovereign of Jayanti-pura. Sake, 1653 or A. D. 1741. 



Area I, bears rude figures of a musket and a long knife and the 

 y antra. On the top of the inscription in the margin is a half- 

 moon, and below it a leaf, perhaps meant for that of the Bel. 

 In Marsden's work (MCCXVI-MCCXYII) the coin is figured and 

 described; but his date is 1683. 



The second coin is a duplicate of the first. It bears an impres- 

 sion on the margin of a punched stag. 



The other two are exactly alike. They are a little larger 

 than the two above described, and the metal appears to be a little 

 more alloyed. 



The legends on both areas are identical with those of the. above, 

 excelling the date, which is 1712 Sa&a, or A. D. 1790. The mai 

 gin, as in the above three coins, is decorated with a string of beads."
