some town I am not acquainted with. Both (137) and (338) are coins 
of Shah ‘Alam II. 
Plate XXIII. — The coins on this plate are a miscellaneous lotw r ith 
which I became acquainted during the time I was drawing the other plates. 
(139) is an early dam of Akbar’s from the Alwar mint. (140) is the only 
dam of the Kalanaur mint that I have ever seen. 1 I got it in Ludiana. 
Kalanaur was one of Akbar’s copper mints and it was the place where he 
was crowned. (141) is a rare dam of Shah Jahan from the Lucknow mint. 
Lucknow was a mint of Sher Shah’s, Akbar’s and other Mogul Emperors. 
(142) is the smallest copper coin I have seen from the Fathpur Sikrl 
mint. It is the eighth of a dam of Akbar. I do not know what to 
make out of (143). It is a Calcutta mint one-anna piece. It seems to 
bear the date 1100 H. but the two dots may belong to the lA of Shah. 
It was struck by the East India Company. It is the only one I have 
ever seen and is in the Society’s own collection. I obtained (344), a 
fine coin of Jahandar Shah from the Kabul mint, at the beginning of 
this month. (145) is a good specimen of the coins from the Elicpur 
mint in the time of Muhammad Shah. One of the most curious coins 
in this paper is (146). It has on it fragments of the couplet on Sikh 
rupees on one side, and on the other the name of the Xajibabad mint, 
with its standing fish and the year of the reign of Shah ‘Alam II. It 
must have been struck when the Sikhs were in power in the Duab. I 
have one with the same Sikh fragments on but struck in Jaipur. The 
legends on (148) are not full enough to enable me to give the mint. 
They only tell us that the coin is one of Shah ‘Alam II. The use of 
in a circle is peculiar. I have a second specimen half the weight 
of this. (149) has been a puzzle to me for a long time. The date on 
it is SIP* This confirms my reading of on the other side. I make 
out the mint to be Nagar but I know nothing about it. As I have 
no coin of Babar in this paper on Mogul copper coins, I thought I would 
finish off with (150) which is a fine specimen from the mint in the Fort 
of Agra in 936 H. I ought to have given on a thirteenth plate the 
coins in bronze of Humayun. They are from the Agra mint as Daru-1- 
khilafat, Daru-l-aman, Daru-l-‘adl and Qila-i-Agra Daru-z-zarb: 
from the Daru-l-mulk Hazrat Delhi mint; Daru-l-khilafat Lahor; 
Mandu; Shahr-i-Mukarram Campanir, and Daru-z-zarb Khitta-i-Mut- 
abarrak Jaunpur mints. But some of these have already been edited and 
drawn. 
One thing has been prominently brought before us, the thorough 
jumble in which the copper coinage of the Moguls was. It must be
