Coins supplementary to Thomas' Chronicles of the Nathan Jeings. — By 



C. J. Eodgers. 

 (With two Plates.) 



The " Chronicles o£ the Pathan kings" is a very full work. But it is 

 an enlargement of a smaller previous work. Further search brought more 

 coins to light, and the description of these coins has swollen the original 

 treatise to its present size. But large though the work be, it is not 

 exhaustive. Finality in our knowledge of the coins of the Pathans hag 

 not yet been attahied. Continued search will bring out still further coins 

 which from time to time will have to be described. Owing to the nature 

 of my duties I have few opportunities of obtaining fresh coins, but as 

 I have during the past year come across about forty unpublished ones, 

 I thought I might venture to put them forward as a small contribution 

 to a further knowledge of the coins of India. 



The word a'dl figures largely on the coins of the Gazni rulers. In 

 some modern coins this word occurs together with the sword on several 

 coins of towns in Afghanistan, It must have been for the reason, that 

 might is right, that the early conquerors of India stuck this word on their 

 "coins. In Plate V, Nos, 1 and 2 have a'dl on the obverse and mumalliki 

 ■on the reverse. I am inclined to ascribe this coin to 2£uhammad Sam 

 or his general Eihek. The word I have transliterated as mumallihi may 

 ••be mumlahat. No. 6 I regard as a coin of Muizz-ud-din Muhammad 

 Sam. The word Muizz on this coin is written more like the same word 

 on the coins of Eldoz and of Muhammad Sam, than that on the coins of 

 ■Muizz-ud-din Kaikubad or Muizz-ud-din Bahram Shah. There is a coin 

 in the " Ariana Anticiua^' PI. XX. fig. 14 which is not mentioned by 

 Thomas. Now I got a good specimen of this same coin from Neshapur 

 with a lot of the coins of A'la-ud-diu Khwarizmi. A glance at No. 15
