p. 331, No. 19. There is a slight difference in the arrangement of the 
lettering, but the main difference is the use of the kunyat Abul 
Muzajfar instead of the usual Abun-Nasar, and in the absence of Jchazancth.

The date, of course, must be 898. The curiosity of this com is the 
kunyat Abul Muzajfar. Its letters are absolutely distinct, which is more 
than can be said" for the kunyat Abun Nasar, which is usually read on 
bis coins. I have never met with any specimen on which Abun Nasar 
could be read with equally absolute certainty ; at the same time, I admit 
that the reading Abun Nasar on those coins (as on Br. M. Cat., No. 105) 
is very probable. Any how, the kunyat Abun Nasar as the usual one of 
Muzaffar Shah is proved by his inscriptions which uniformly give it to 
him' ( see this Journal, Yol. XL1I, p. 290. ) Here, then, we have another 
evidence to confirm the fact that more than one kunyat might be used by 
the same king. I may add that Bloclimann in this Journal, Yol. XLIII, 
p 297 footnote, affords another evidence in the fact that Aurangzib uses 
the two kunyats Abuz Zafar and Abul Muzajfar, on his coins and in his 
inscriptions respectively. He calls this a “confusion” (whose?), but 
it is simply a well-established practice of some kings. 
(B) Coins of the Kalachuri kings of Chedi. 
In January last, I received from the Political Agent of the Chhahs- 
garh Feudatory States, Raipur, 56 old coins, which, on examination, 
turned out to be coins of some of the Kalachuri kings of Chedi. A re- 
port on them has been published in the Society’s Proceedings for April 
last These coins had been found in the Sarangarh State. In May 
last, I received three more Chedi coins, which had been found in the 
bed of the river Ang, in the state of Patna, and a report on which is 
published in the Proceedings for August last. 
As these coins, as far as I know, are the first of their land ever 
found, or at least have never been published, I publish them now 
the more so, as in one respect I have altered my opinion published in 
the Proceedings for April last.
