I give the obverse legend, as Mr. Rodgers reads it, though I am 
not fully satisfied as to its correctness. 
2. See Plate IX, fig. 24. This is a rupee of Sher Shah from 
my own cabinet. It is of a well-known type, but I publish it for the 
sake of the strange reverse legend ’Aldu-d-din, which is clearly 
shown in the bottom segment. It appears in the place, where one 
usually finds Sher Shah’s name Fandu-d-dm. I cannot account for 
this anomaly, nor can Mr. Rodgers to whom I referred the coin. 
(D) Coins of the Mughal Emperors of Delhi. 
1. See Plate IX, fig. 24. This is a square rupee from my own 
cabinet. The date is perfectly distinct, 1010 H., and the coin, therefore, 
refers itself to Akbar’s reign ; yet its true attribution is not without 
difficulties. I referred the coin to Mr. Rodgers, who informed me 
that there are two coins like it in the Lahore Museum and that he 
possesses one specimen himself. He believes that they are “ Jahangir’s 
coins with Akbar’s name, struck in Bengal.” He reads the legends as 
follows : — 
Obverse : 
The Creed- 
Reverse :

He tells me that “ Akbar,” “ Shall Salim ” and mint “ Bangalah ” 
are plain on one of the above-mentioned three coins. Jahangir succeeded 
his father Akbar in 1014 H. ; his earlier name was Salim Shah, which 
appears on some of his early coins, for which see British Museum 
Catalogue, Nos. 288, 289. 
2. See Plate IX, fig. 25. This is a rupee of Jahangir, of the 
well-known type of the months of the Ilahi years. I publish it, how- 
ever, for the sake of the mint Rohtas, which is a new one. The legends 
run as follows : — 
Obverse : 
*U a I A

Reverse :
