(27-31) Coins of the Tikamgarh, alias Orcha, alias Tehari Raj, 
a small native state in Bandelkhand, adjoining the British district of 
Lalitpur. No. 27 is a rupee : this was called “ Gaja Shahi,” and was 
coined till 1893. No. 29 is an eight-anna. No. 30 is a four-anna, and 
No. 28 a two-anna; all silver. No. 31 is a copper one-half-anna (or 
two-paisa). The legends and marks are the same on the silver and

(Nos. 32-34). Two rupees and one two-anna of Naravar, an 
ancient town in the Gvaliyar State, 44 miles south of Gvaliyar. It 
belonged at one time to a branch of the Jaipur family, from whom 
it was taken by Madho Rao I. This mint is now closed. Legends : 
obv., fragments of Shah ‘ Alam’s usual couplet; rev., mint illegible, 
but the marks show it to be a Naravar coin. Date : of No. 32, 1202 H.

(Nos. 35 and 36.) Two rupees of Bund! or K5tab. On these 
two States and their coinage, see Webb’s Currencies of Rajputana, 
pp. 85, 91. The earlier coins of the two States can hardly be distin¬ 
guished. No. 35 seems to read Bahadur, in the obverse top-line, and 
to be struck in Bahadur Shah’s name (1837-1857 A.D.) ; while No. 36 
seems to a rupee in Akbar IPs name (1806-1837 A.D.). Dates: of 
No. 35, regnal L7; of No. 36, regnal 3. Mint: hardly legible, but 
apparently bundi. Marks: on reverse of both, a lotus-bud with
