Mandosar. (Plate XXXII, 37, 38). 
(Nos. 37 and 38). These, according to native shroffs and bankers, 
are a rupee and a paisa of Mandosar, in the Malva district of the 
Gvaliyar State. The mint is now closed. Legends : fragments of 
Shah ‘Alam’s. Date: 1203 H., regnal 3 (1788 A.D.). Marks: on

Gohad. (Plate XXXII, 39). 
(No. 39). A copper paisa of the Gohad mint. It is 20 miles 
north of Gvaliyar. It belonged to the Dholpur Chief, up to 1806, 
when it was given to the Sindhias of Gvaliyar. See Webb’s Currencies 
of Bajputdna , p. 133, where on Plate XII, Nos. 10, 12, rupees of Gohad 
will be found figured. The principal marks on these are: obv., an 
umbrella, and rev., a pistol, whence they are known as tamancha or 
‘ pistol.’ On No. 39 the pistol is seen on the reverse, but the umbrella on 
the obverse is wanting; instead there is a small cross or star over the

Jaora. (Plate XXXII, 40-44). 
(40-44). Said to be coins of Jaora, a native state and town in 
Western Malva, Central Indian Agency, about 40 miles S. E. of 
Pratapgarh, on the Railway line. They were all procured from Jaora. 
In Webb’s Currencies of Bajputana , p. 23, however, coins of this kind 
are ascribed to the Pratapgarh State. No. 43 is a rupee, No. 40® and 
40 6 are eight annas, No. 41 is a four-anna, No. 44 is a two-anna, 
and Nos. 42® and 42 6 are paisas. The dates of the coins are incon¬ 
sistent; the rupee (No. 45) has 1199 H and 29 julus of Shah ‘Alam, 
while the julus should be 26. The julus year varies on different 
specimens: the Lahore Museum has one with 22. The smaller deno¬ 
minations have 1236 H. and 45 julus ; but the latter julus of Shah 
‘Alam corresponds to 1218 H. = 1803 A.D. In the latter year the 
East India Company commenced to issue its “ 45-san ” Rupees from 
its Farrukhabad mint, and continued the “ Farrukhabad ” rupees up 
to 1835 (see Brit. Mus. Cat., Moghul Emperors, Introduction, pp. cii, 
ciii). Perhaps the “45-san” coins of Jaora or Pratapgarh may 
be made in imitation of the Company’s. The mint on the reverse of 
No. 43 seems to read clearly enough tjjib devarah or deora , which has
