82 C. J. Rodgers — Coins supplementanj of the Pailian Icings. [No. 2, 



of Plate V, will show that this very king A'la-ud-din struck coins of 

 the very same type, \Tsing the sqviare area for his name and titles and 

 dividing the latter similarly to Muizz-ud-din. No. 7, PI. V, I claim also 

 for Muhammad Sam. It has Muizzi on obverse and on reverse in Hindi, 

 Sri Samanta Deva. 



Nos. 3 and 4, PI. V, are undoubtedly new tyj^es of Shams-ud-din 

 Altamsh. No. 3 has obv. a'dl, rev. SJiamsi. No. 4 has the same with a 

 star underneath each word. Neither has any ornament. 



No. 9 is, I believe, also Shams-ud-diu's. The star seems to indicate 

 this. A^U i Sultan ul Muazzim, the inscription on the obverse is found 

 also on a large quantity of coins of size similar to this one of which 

 Thomas takes no notice. But the Zarh ha Ziuliore with star above it 

 is not on them. They have always Zarh ha liazrat Delili. No, 9 is to 

 me unique. But the other kind I mention are very common indeed. In 

 my own small collection I have no less than 12 duplicates. One of them 

 has Adl i Sultan i Muazzim ; the rtZ/fand Jam are altogether missing. 



No. 10 is undoubtedly Shams-ud-din's coin. Ohverse : A'dl us Sultun 

 (ul A'zim) ; Heverse : {Shawms ud Dunya {tva) ud dm. This is a very 

 coarse coin. 



Nos. 11, 12 and 13 are I think Shams-ud-din's. The obverse and 

 reverse are simple A'dl and Delili. No. 11 has these words in square 

 areas ; No. 12 in round ones with ornaments ; No. 13 in a hexagonal star, 

 with dots in the angles. 



No. 5 is a very rare coin weighing only the same as No. 109 in 

 Thomas, and half the weight of his No. 52, the inscriptions of which 

 latter coin it possesses. So we may regard this coin as the smallest hither- 

 to discovered of Shams-ud-din's. It is exceedingly rare as is the one 

 double its size. Thus in all I have had the pleasure of unearthing no 

 less than 10 new types of coins of Shams-ud-din. 



No. 8 I ascribe to Meziali. In the rayed circle is the name 'Reziali. 

 On the reverse is the hull with Samanta Deva above it in Hindi. The 

 whole coin is similar to No. 7 of the same plate. 



No. 14, Plate V is evidently a coin of the same king the No. 15 

 belongs to. And No. 15 is obv. A^la ibd Dunya., rev. Wa ud din. This 

 is a coin of A'la ud diu Ivhwarizmi. No. 14 has similar inscriptions to 

 those on No. 5 ; but the fortunate discovery of No. 15 settles the ascrip- 

 tion. 



No. 16 is a new coin of the same king. In the central area is the word 

 Sultan and on the margin Ul A'zim A'la ud Dunya ica ud din Muliain- 

 mad {hin us Sul)tdn. Reverse: the Kalimah. The whole is in Kufic 

 characters. 



Not one of these three coins is in the British Museum or is noticed 

 by Thomas.
