With these data, it would in any case seem probable that the coins 
(Nos. 3 and 4) referred to in the Proceedings for August 1893, were 
minted in the reign of Prana-narayana, and I have now procured 
another similar coin which places the matter beyond doubt, as the 
whole name (£Tt«!) is perfectly legible on it (Plate XXIV, 3). 
The coin in the Society’s Collection on which the termination of 
the king’s name is is clearly a coin of Upendra-narayana (Plate 
XXIV, 4). 
There remain a number of coins which show the termination of 
the king’s name to be as, or As there are several kings 
whose names end with these letters, it is difficult to identify these coins 
with any degree of certainty, and it is not improbable that some were 
minted by one king and others by another. I have recently procured a 
coin on which the whole name ^ivendra-narayana can be clearly read 
(Plate XXIV, 5), and anotherin which the letter preceding the ^ seems 
to be r and not r, 1 so that it must be a coin of either Darendra-narayana 
or Harendra-narayana (Plate XXIV, 6). 
Lastly there is a coin on which the termination of the name seems 
to be dndra , which does not fit in with any of the names of Koch 
Kings quoted above (Plate XXIV, 7). Another peculiarity about this 
1 The letter is similar to the Assamese r, in which the sign distinguishing this 
letter from v is a bar across the triangle and not a dot below it, as is the case in 
Bengali.
