also been noticed on other specimens. The only Deora I know of is a 
small town on the Son river, in Baghelkand, in the Reva State, a few 
miles beyond the borders of the British District of Mlrzapur. It 
certainly cannot be read javarali or jaord. On No. 40a there are 
distinct traces, reading evaga, which wonld make Devagarh or 
Deogarh. This is a small town in Grvaliyar, and is probably the 
name really intended on all these coins. Marks : obv., a sort of w 
suspended from a vertical stroke, and on its left a circle (or star) of 
seven dots; rev., a dagger, under it is what has been taken by 
Mr. Maries to be the figure of a “ powder-pricker,” but it is simply the 
syllable zar of zarb. One of the paisas, No. 42®, shows the date 
[11] 95 H = 1780 A.D. The real ascription of Nos. 42a and 426, how¬ 
ever, is very doubtful. 1 find that Babu Kishan Lai says that “ the 
two coins are Ahmad’s Rohtak coins (near Amballa).” The date 1195 
H., however, agrees with the reign neither -of Ahmad Shah of Delhi 
nor of Ahmad Shah Durrani. 
Jaipur. (Plate XXXIII, 45-47). 
(45-47) Coins of Jaipu r; viz., No. 45 a rupee, No. 46 an eight- 
anna, No. 47 a two-anna, No. 48 a paisa. See also Webb’s Cur¬ 
rencies of Rdjputana , p. 71, and Plate VII. The coins now given 
are not figured on Webb’s Plate; but a very good specimen of a 
similar gold coin is figured in the Indian Museum Catalogue, Part II, 
Plate 8, No. 10942. The obverse legend of the latter is borne on the 
present Nos. 45-47, and gives the name and titles of the Empress Victoria 
(mutilated) : —

The date on No. 56 is 188 # A.D., and regnal 8 of the Maharaja 
Madh5 Siijgh who ascended the gaddi in 1880 A.D. Nos. 45, 47 are of 
the regnal year 6 of the same Maharaja. Mark: on reverse, a large, 
seven-leaved sprig ( jhdr ). 
Bhartpur. (Plate XXXIII, 49-51). 
(49-51.) One rupee and two paisas of Bhartpur. See also 
Webb’s Currencies of Rajputana, p. 123 and Plate XII, 1-10. No. 49 
is a type of rupee, not figured in Webb. It bears Shah ‘Alain’s 
couplet, but is dated in 1271 H. = 1854-55 A.D. in the reign of Bahadur 
Shah II (1253-1275 H.) The regnal year 4 on the reverse is that of 
Maharaja Jasvant Siijgh, who succeeded to the gaddi in 1852 A. D.
