Philological Secretary —Report on old coins. 
no particulars whatever are given. They have every appearance of 
being modern manufacture. 
The coins are of a mixture of gold and silver, and are very old. 
They are precisely of the same description, in every particular, as the 
62 coins, found in 1888 in the Bijnor District, N.-W. Provinces, and 
described and published by me in the Proceedings of this Society, for 
November, 1888, p. 205. They are also referred to in Mr. V. A. Smith’s 
paper in the Journal of the Society for 1895, pp. 181, 184, on the 
“ Coinage of the Gupta Period.” The coins belong to the Class of the 
so-called “ Later Indo-Scythian Coins,” and to the Group of “ Later 
Great Kusans, Class B,” or the Group of “ Early Little Kusans.” I 
repeat their description, as it was given not quite correctly in the 
Proceedings for 1888. 
Obv. Crude figure of king standing to left. Under his left arm 
kidara ; outside spear kshana ; to left of king’s right leg 
kapana , between this word and the leg one large dot or 
a cluster of dots (3 to 5). 
Rev. Goddess, seated on throne with cornucopial in left hand; 
over her head a crescent, generally let into the dotted 
marginal circle. Monogram, in top of right field, or 
In the middle of right field, near the margin' a large 
letter, which seems to be la in some, sa and sala in other 
specimens.
