Baber. Obverse : — ZnMr ud din Muliammad Bdhnr, BddsJidh Ghdzi (9)87. 

 Khallad allah mullmlm wa SuUdnahu, zarb Agrah. (The bars and knots 

 are not peculiar to tbe Kashmir coinage. They are found on the anony- 

 mous coins of both Baber and Humayun). Reverse Area : — the Kalimah ; 

 Margin : — names and titles of the four Companions. 



Nos 10, 11, 12, are three varieties of a new type of Humayun's anony- 

 mous coinage. They vpere all struck at Champdnir. Firishtah spells this 

 •word^JjjlAjLi.. The coins all agree in giving it ^^A^s^. The inscriptions of 

 these coins give a new feature — a title to a city. Champanir is entitled the 

 noble city Shahr i MuTcarram. It speaks well for Humayun's nature that he 

 could so style a city he had just conquered ; for the date of the coins is that 

 of the conquest of the city 942. These coins too introduce a second new 

 feature in Humayun's anonymous coinage. Instead of Fi ut tdriJch, they 

 have la tdrihh. Obverse : — Zarb SJiahr i Mu/carram. Reverse : — Gham- 

 pdmr ba tdrihli 942. No. 11 belongs to Dav. lioss, Esq. 



No. 13 is another of the anonymous coins of either Baber or Huma- 

 yun. I give it for two reasons: (1) It has full inscriptions. (2) The 

 bar running across the Jaunpur anonymous coins resolves itself into a 

 word Mutabarrak, the title of the city — the Blessed. Obverse, Ba Bar 

 ul zarb Khifta i Jaunpur Mutabarrah. Reverse : — Fi ut tdrikh san 937 ; 

 ornaments at the top and bottom. Most of the coins of Jaunpur have a 

 star on the obverse of one kind or other. But all have the bar, with the 

 first letter and last one missing. All I have, have dar ill zarb on them 

 too, although this is omitted by Thomas. The bars on some of the other 

 anonymous coins may by the discovery of fuller specimens turn out to be 

 some words or other. 



Nos. 14, 15, IG, 17 and 18 are small copper coins of the Siiri family, 

 forming of themselves a little set, out of which only one, No. 17, has been 

 noticed by Thomas. No. 15 is the first of the set. Obverse : — KhalifaTi 

 uz Zamdn 947. Reverse : — Sher Shdh us Sultdn. This is a very small 

 coin indeed for Sher Shah. 



No. 16 is also Sher Shah's, but it is larger and heavier than 15 and 

 has a different inscription. Obverse : — Sultdn Khalifah uz zamdn. 

 Reverse : — Sher Shah id A'dil Sultdn. 



No. 17 is Islam Shah's, noticed by Thomas, No. 364, p. 413. I have 

 given it here to comi^lete the set at one view. No. 18 is Muhammad 

 Shah's Siiri. Obverse : — Sultdn Iluhammad A'dil Shdh : Reverse : — Kha- 

 lifah uz zamdn Abu (ul Muzaffar). 



No. 14 is Sikundar Siiri's. Obverse : — Khalifah uz zamdn 962. Re- 

 verse : Sihandar Shdh us Sultdn 962. Thomas does not notice any halves 

 of the large copper coins of any of the five Siiri kings. Halves of Sher 

 Shah arc common, those of Islam Shah are rare, those of Muhammad A'dil
