1890.] A. F. R. Hoernle — Copper Goins of the Suri Dynasty, 
his coins, in the present collection, gives any mint name ; nor have I 
ever seen any other coin of his that gives a mint.* 
Type I, square areas with inscribed sectional margins, on both the 
obverse and reverse. This is a quite new type, which I do not remem- 
ber having ever seen noticed. It has certainly not been published. 
There are 6 specimens, none of which unfortunately is very perfect. 
On five of them the legends are arranged as follows, see Plate IV, fig. 27.

It would seem, that this type of coin had the date on the obverse 
margin, but gave no mint. The obverse area-legend roads : fi 'ahad al- 
Amir al-Hdmiu-d-dinu-d-din, which is a curious blunder; but the double 
din is quite distinct. 
The reverse area reads : Islam Shah (bin) Sher Shah Sultan Mtallad 
Alldhu. 
The obverse sections gave the date, and, if they followed Sher 
Shah’s fashion, probably read as-Sultdn al-’A'dil Jaldlu-d-dunyd wa ud- 
din. 
The reverse sections would appear to have read, as on Sher Shah’s 
similar coins, Abul Muzaffar Jchallad Alldhu mulkahu wa sultdnahu. 
Type II. Lettered surfaces on obverse and reverse. The legends 
are exactly as on No. 363 in Thomaa' Chronicles ; but the words are 
* It would seem, however, that a mint does occasionally occur. Mr. Rodgers, in 
a MS. list of coins given to tho Indian Museum by the Arohmologioal Survey, notices 
one coin (No. 220 of 1886-1887), apparently a variety of type II, as giving the mint
