A. F. R. Hoernle — On some new or rare 
[No. 2, 
Indo-Sassanian, 1 silver Arsaside, 1 silver Sassanian, 7 gold and 1 
copper Ratlior and Oliandol, 2 copper Kashmir, 5 copper early Rajput 
(Bull and Horseman type), 6 copper early Pa^han, I copper Kangra, 1 
copper Malva, and 4 modern coins.* 
I shall only notice those which are either new, or for other reasons 
notewoi-thy. 
Among the Roman coins is one of Gallienns (A. D. 253 — 268), of 
impure silver, and probably a forgery, as it has a blundered legend on 
the obv., IIVID CD for IMP. CP. The reverse has VIRTVS AUGG, 
and shows Gallienus and his son Saloninus standing face to face, holding 
conjointly a small globe on which is a small figure of victory. Compare 
the medallion described in Num. Chron., (New Series), Vol. VII, p. 6, 
pi, I, fig. 3. This coin was obtained at Bombay. 
Among the Bactrians, there is a copper coin of Soter Megas, like 
that in Br. Mus. Cat., pi. XXIV, fig. 5, and perhaps in rather better 
condition. It shows on the obv. the head of the king, fillettod, to 
right, apparently without any legend. The rev. shows a drapped 
figure to front, apparently standing and holding a spear in each hand ; 
or it may be the enthroned Zeus as on the coins of Hermaeus and others, 
the ‘spear’ being the side-posts of the throne. Of the rev. legend 
there only remains ...... AEY BA2IA Thoi’e is probably a second 
specimen of this same coin, but there is nothing distinguishable on it, 
except... GTHP ... on the reverse. I believe this is a rare coin ; and I 
am not sure that its attribution to Soter Megas is correct. 
There are, further, among the Bactrians two silver coins (dupli- 
cates), the attribution of which I do not know. I believe this coin is not 
now, but I do not remember having seen it published. Accordingly I 
have shown it in Plato VI, fig. I. Obv., helmeted head, LAECA; rev., 
quadriga and MPO . Both specimens are from Bombay. 
Both V ENETIANS are of silver, on the whole of the same type. But 
one is of mere silver-foil and excessively ci’ude execution, with no appa- 
rent legends, and is probably a forgery. The other, a silver ducate, is an 
exact counterpart of one published in the Num. Chron., Vol. VI, (third 
Series', pi. V, fig. 98 ; with the exception, however, that the name of 
the doge, along the left hand margin, is not Dandolo, but some other not 
quite legible name. Silver ducates of this typo began to be struck from 
the time of Enrico Dandolo (A. D. 1192 — 1205). 
Among the Indo-Scythians, there are two copper coins, a NANA 
PAG of Kanerki and a ‘king’s bust’ (as in Brit. Mus. Cat., pi. XXVIIT, 
* The nmnbera and classification differ slightly from those given in the Address, 
on account of some useless specimens having since been excluded, aud some others 
re-classified.
