No. 17 is a coin of Firoz Shah Zafar, son of Firoz Shah. The obverse 

 has on it in square area Firoz Shah. The margin reads Zafar ihn Hiroz 

 Shall Sulidn, the reverse has ndib i amir ul Momimn 791. No. 18 is 

 exactly the same in date and inscriptions, but the latter are arranged 

 differently on the obverse. Znfar beginning above the area and not on the 

 left hand side as in No. 17. They are both of silver and copper. This 

 Zafar Khan, son of Firoz Shah, died in Gujrat in 775, A. H. But he had 

 a son also named Zafar Khan, and this coin may have been struck in his 

 honour after the death of Firoz Shah. 



No. 19 is a coin of Muhammad Shah, son of Firoz Shah. It is not 

 in Thomas in this size. This coin is very light. In reading the margin of 

 the large coin of this type, Thomas omits the word Sultan which is always 



' on the best preserved specimens. The centre area is Muhammad Shah. 



' The margin reads from the outside and is Sultan, zarh baJiazrat i Dehli. 

 The reverse of this coin is Naib i Amir ul Mominin 792. 



No. 19ff is a coin of similar type without any date on the reverse. 

 Inasmuch as the margin of this coin reads from the inside, I am inclined 

 to ascribe this to Muhammad bin Farid Shah, whose coins, when similar 

 in type to the coins of the son of Firoz, have always some difference in the 

 arrangement of the words. 



No. 20 is a coin of Muhammad Shah son of Farid Shah. The in- 

 scriptions are, obverse Sultan Muhammad Shah, Farid Shah zarh Dehli. 

 Keverse Khalifah Amir ul Momimn Khallad Kldldfotahu. There is 



: no date. There is some uncertainty as to the date of the death of this 

 king. Thomas, quoting Badaoiii, gives his death as 84<7. I got a coin of 



i this king's during the time this plate was being prepared, dated 848. But 

 this does not prove much ; for from the time of Firoz Shah, the mints kept 

 on coining in the names of kings who had been long dead ; e. g., Mubarak 



I Shah died in 837. And I have coins bearing the date of 840 and 854. 

 A whole series of posthumous coins of these kings might easily be made. 



No. 21 is a coin of Bahlol Shah. The inscriptions are, substituting 

 Sahlol Shah for Muhammad Shah, similar to those on the last coin. Coins 

 bearing these inscrij^tions are somewhat rare in the smaller size. This 

 large-sized coin is to me unique, and it has not as yet been published. 

 This is the third new type of Bohlol's that I have brought to light. 



No. 22 has no business in this plate. It was put in to fill up a gap, 

 and because I saw that the coin is new to numismatists, as it is not in 

 the British Museum Catalogue or in Thomas' work on the Gazni coins. 

 It is a binominal coin, struck evidently by Bahram Shah. Obverse : — jL'dl 

 us Sultan ul Azim Bahram Shall. Eeverse : — A'zd us Sultan ul Muazzim 

 Sanjar. Here Bahram seems to arrogate to himself the title of A'zim " the 

 greatest" and to give his ally (A'zd) Sanjar who had helped him to retain
