In the course of examining coins that are submitted to me under 
the Treasure Trove Act, I have come across some that deserve a fuller 
description than I could give them in my Reports to the Government. 
(A) Coins of the Independent Sultans of Bengal. 
Towards the end of 1891 I received a lot of coins from Sibsagar 
in Assam. Among them there were 38 coins of the Independent Sultans 
of Bengal. In July 1892 I received another set of 28 coins of the 
same Sultans from Bhagalpur. Reports on both finds are published 
in the Society’s Proceedings for August 1893. Among these coins I 
found the following new types or new varieties of known types. 
(XXXY. ) Jalalu-d-din Muhammad Shah. 
817-835 A. H. = 1414-1431 A. D. 
(1) See Plate VIII, fig. 1. Now in the Indian Museum. This is 
merely a new variety of the coin, published by Mr. Blochmann in this 
Journal, Yol. XLIII, p. 294, pi. XIII, No. 2, and in the British Museum 
Catalogue, No. 87. The legends on both faces are in tughra characters. 
Obv. : ^ j i/| li All, ^ 
The date 834, in very large figures, is on the left,* and the mint 
Chatgdon on the right side, partly illegible. In the specimens published 
by W. Blochmann, the date as well as the mint is on the right side. 
On the British Museum specimen the mint is said to be beneath. But 
I doubt this; it appears to me to be the usual legend ajLLV 
The date and mint would be on the sides, but the coin is too badly 
disfigured by cuts to show them. 
(2) Plate VIII, fig. 2. Now in the Indian Museum. This is 
another specimen of that published in the British Museum Catalogue, 
* Unfortunately, owing to a knob caused by a shroff mark on the reverse, the 
date has not come out very clearly in the photograph. It is however, perfectly 
distinct on the coin itself.
