Philological Secretary — Report on old coins. 61 
Second variety ; with legends bhadra and pakandhi, 
as in Cunningham’s Plate II, figure 12, p. 121 . 6 
Third variety ; with two sub-varieties :— 
1st sub-variety: legends bha, saya and saka, as 
in Cunningham’s Plate II, figure 6 . 3 
2nd sub-variety: legends vi, saya and saka. Not 
in Cunningham..... 1 
N.B. —The ya of saya, in sub-variety 1, has the 
old tridentate form, while in sub-variety 2, 
it has the modern form. One specimen of 
the 1st sub-variety reads sana for saka, 
which is probably a mere fault of minting. 
(IX) Repoet on 66 old silver coins, forwarded by the Deputy Com¬ 
missioner of the Shah pur District, with his No. 45, of 21st January, 1895. 
The coins are stated to have been found in the village of Khabakki. 
They belong to tlie so-called class of punch-marked coins, and 
are of two different types, viz., 26 are circular aud 40 are angular 
(square or oblong). They are fully described and figured in the late 
Sir. A. Cunningham’s Coins of Ancient India, pp. 54ff., plate I, fig. 1-19. 
(X) Repoet on 179 old coins, forwarded by the Deputy Com¬ 
missioner of Gujranwala, with his No. 3435, dated 2nd October, 1894. 
The coins are stated to have been found in the village of Sadhu 
Guraoja in the Gujranwala District. 
They are all small coins of mixed metal, of Muhammad Karluk 
(Nasiru-d-din), about 658 A.H. = 1259 A.D., of the well-known type, 
published in Prinsep’s Indian Antiquities, vol. I, plate II, fig. 14 and 
elsewhere. 
(XI) Repoet on 548 old copper coins, forwarded by the Collector of 
22n(i 
Puri, with his No. 1428, dated Puri, ——- September, 1893, and subse- 
Jotii 
quent correspondence. 
The Collector in his letter to the Commissioner of the Orissa 
Division, No. 1427, dated September, 1893, states, that the coins 
25th 
were found about the beginning of March, 1893, buried in a small 
earthen pot, 2 feet below the surface, while excavating earthworks at 
Gurbai Salt Factory by the Salt Department at Manikaratna. He 
reports that the villagers were of opinion, that the pieces are more a 
kind of medal worn as armlets by women ; and he adds, that the sh 
of some of them supports this theory, but that from the dies or 
it is probable that they were some ancient coins of small value
