of Dehli. See details in tlie report above referred to. It will be seen 

 from that report, that in the present hoard there are several types of 

 coins which were still noted as " unique " in Thomas' book ; e. g., the 

 coin of Jalalu-d-din Firuz (Chron. No. 120), several of Muhammad bin 

 Tughlaq (Chron. Nos. 172, 179), one of Firuz Shah (Chron. No 226), 

 one of Firuz Shah and Zafar (Chron. No. 245). There are in it also 

 some coins, which are not to be found in Thomas' Chronicles, though, 

 they have been published elsewhere : thus two of Mahmud bin Muham- 

 mad bin Firuz (with Abu-l-Muzaffar, as published by myself, in this 

 Journal, vol. LII, p. 213, for 1883), and one of Mahmud bin Muham- 

 mad bin Tughlaq (published by Mr. Delmerick in this Journal, vol. 

 XLIII, p. 97, for 1874). 



The most important in this collection of " Pathan " coins, however, 

 are five, which, to the best of my knowledge, are unique, or at least have 

 never been noticed or published. These are the following (see Plato 

 IV): 



1, One coin of Muhammad bin Tughlaq (Plate IV, No 1). It 

 reads as follows : 



Obv. Rev. 



The reverse seems to bear a date, consisting of two numerals. 

 One of them, 5, is distinctly seen by the side of abu ; but the other 

 above the s of 'Abbas is obscure. As the Khalif Abu- 1- Abbas Ahmad 

 reigned from 741-753, the date of the coin can only be 745. This coin 

 has some similarity with Muhammad bin Tughlaq's copper coin, No. 218 

 in Thomas' Chronicles. 



2, Two coins of Grhiyasu-d-din Tughlaq II. He is mentioned in 

 Thomas' Chronicles, as the twenty-first king (A. H. 790-791 = A. D. 

 1388). He reigned only a few months, as the rival of Muhammad bin 

 Firuz and Abu Bakr. Thomas' Chronicles only notice " silver and 

 copper " coins of his (p. 302). The present collection contains two gold 

 coins of his, of two different types. The first (Plate IV, No. 2) reads 

 as follows :
