1849.] Circar of Warungul 287 



2 Adhelas » 1 pice, 



4 Pice ------ 1 copper gundha, 



15 Gundahs - 1 rupee. 



The Halee-sicca rupee is current — it has not been assayed, at least 

 it does not appear in the money tables of Prinsep, where are to be 

 found other coins of this name, but not the Halee-sicca of this Circar 

 of Hyderabad. In exchange an anna of batta is demanded on the 

 Bagh-Chulnee with which the Subsidiary force is paid ; no gold coin 

 is in circulation. I made inquiries for old coin but was not able to 

 procure any — with the exception of the cowries and pice and ru- 

 pees these coins are imaginary. There is a large double pice in cir- 

 culation.

 said to be lighter. The Masha, a broken piece of porcelain, weighed
