588 DESCRIPTION OF SELECT COINS. 



Plate III. Figures 68 and 69. 



Copper Coins. 



Obverse. — Various emblems of uncertain import. 



Reverse. — An elephant, a small figure in front, and a 

 sword underneath. 



There are several of these in the Society's Cabinet : two of them were 

 found in the ruins of Kaira, an ancient city on the banks of the Gogra : 

 one in Mr. Prinsep's possession was found in making the new Allahabad 

 road. The Natives call them the Coins of Mandhata, a prince of Ayodhya, 

 in the Treta or second age. They are probably the Coins of some Hindu 

 prince of Onde, in a comparatively recent period.

These Coins are found in various parts of India, in considerable 

 numbers : they occur sometimes of silver.
