there is no doubt that it was struck at the end of the reign of Aurang- 
zeb in Patna when the name had been changed to ‘Azlmabad. (92) is 
a Kabul coin of the same Emperor, (93) and (94) are the two dated 
coins from the Narnol mint. (95) is a Bairat coin of Shah Jahan bearing 
not his name but his title, Sahib-i-Qiran Sam. (96) is also a fulus of 
Shah Jahan, with a date, but not with the mint name on it. (97) must 
be a coin of Ahmad Shah Durrani struck in Multan: but I think (98) 
is one of the Delhi king Ahmad Shah, struck in Peshawur. (99) and 
(100) are two coins from the Lahor mint of ‘Alamglr II, while (101) 
and (102) are from the Shahjahanabad mint of the same Emperor as is 
seen from the dates they bear. 
Plate XX. is the first plate of coins I drew for this paper which I 
intended should deal only with the copper coins of Shah ‘Alam II. All 
the coins in this plate are of his time. Helpless though he was, the 
glamour of his name and titles was such that they were used not only 
by the East India Company on their issues from the Murshidabad, 
Benares, Surat and Farrukhabad mints, but by Native States all over 
Northern India. Small mints were established in out-of-the-way places. 
Hence copper coins bearing fragments of the name and titles of Shah 
‘Alam II are exceedingly numerous. There are many with no mint 
name on them. I give some of these. Most of those I have drawn are 
given by reason of the mint names on them. (103) is from Jhansi. 
(104) is from Damla, a place not given in Hunter’s Gazetteer of India. 
It is, however, in Fullarton’s Gazetteer of the world stated to be “on 
the canal of ‘All Mardan Khan, 25 miles W. N. W. of Saharanpur.” 
This was confirmed by A. Phelan, Esq., Executive Engineer, Western 
Jumna Canal, who in answer to a note of mine most courteously informed 
me that “ Damla is a large ancient village lying on the right bank of the 
Western Jumna Canal” and that “Damla contains many Pathan families.” 
I have seen one other copper coin from this Damla mint: (305) comes 
from the Nahan mint. I have seen other coins from this mint. On 
one was the name of Bahadur Shah, Mulzim (servant) of Girvanyodh, 
Maharaja of Nepal. This was struck during the Gurkha occupation of 
Nahan. Another bears the name of a raja of Sirmur, the state of 
which Nahan is capital. This coin (105) differs from both those I have 
mentioned. I don’t know what to make out of the mint on (106), but 
(107) is certainly from the Farrukhnagar mint and 108 is from 
Husainabad, (109) is one type of Shah ‘Ham’s Akbarabad copper coins. 
On (103), (104) and (105) there is a figure to the r. or l. We see from 
this Akbarabad coin that a fish is intended by it. The fish standard 
was an emblem of royalty ; hence coins bear the sign of the fisli to show
