There was a margin on the reverse, which probably contained the 

 mint and date, but it is quite mutilated. The readings are identical 

 and their arrangement nearly identical, with those on Thomas' type 

 No. 4 (or coin, No. 22) in vol. XXXVI, p. 64 The mint, accordingly, 

 would seem to have been Firiizabad. 



To these five coins I add another which is not new, as it has been 

 already described by Thomas in his Chronicles, p. 298. But I am not 

 aware that it has ever been figured ; and the present specimen has the 

 further advantage of having preserved a portion of the margin on the 

 reverse, giving the mint and date. It is a coin bearing the joint names 

 of Firuz Shah and his son Fath Khan, and reads as follows (riate IV 

 No. 6) :

Fath Khan was made co-regent in 760 A. H., and the Klin 1 if Abu-1 

 -Fath whose name appears on the reverse, reigned from 753-763 A. H. 

 It follows that the date of the coin, of which only the numeral 1 is 

 preserved, must be 76J. The name of the mint I am unable to read. 



I take this opportunity to publish figures of two copper coins of 

 Saifu-d-din al Hasan Qurlagb. They belong to the well-known " Bull 

 and Horseman" type, already noticed by Thomas in Ms Chronicles 

 p. 96 (No. 82). They show on the obverse a horseman with the legend, in 

 Nagari characters, ^flW S'rC Hamirah ; and on the reverse a humped 

 bull, also with a Nagari legend. The latter, as given by Thomas, is 

 % ^WH ^iT^J 8'ri Uasana Kurala ; and this is, no doubt, the style in 

 which it is met with in by far the greater majority of specimens. But 

 occasionally the name is found in full ^K^T Kurlaka. Among a number 

 of 100 of these coins, discovered not long ago in Shahpur in the Panjab, 

 and examined by me, I found about a dozen giving the full name (see
