right, apparently Nike standing on a scroll (cloud P) with traces of a 
Greek legend. The King’s head is distinctive for this coin. Size 
0*5625". Weight 17 grs. 
(c) Coin of Azes. 
There is one coin of Azes, c. 30 B.C., silver; nearly the entire 
legends of both sides clipped away; of the well-known type with 
mounted King on obverse, and Zeus holding Nike on reverse; ap¬ 
parently in every respect (inch of monograms) the same as Brit. Mus. 
Oat., No. 32, p. 75. Weight 36 grs., size 0-5625". 
( d) Uncertain Coins. 
These are two copper coins, from the neighbourhood of Khotan ; 
apparently Indo-Bactrian, but too much worn to permit of identification. 
One is a small round coin, measuring | inch, weighing 18'5 grs., and 
showing on one side traces of a bull’s head facing (?), within an irregular 
square, enclosed within a marginal circle of dots, without any legend : 
the other side is entirely indistinguishable. The only, hitherto known, 
Indo-Bactrian coins with a bull’s head facing, so far as I know, are two 
square copper coins of Menander, in Brit. Mus. Cat., No. 66, p. 49 and 
No. 4, p. 169 (pis. xii, 5 and xxxi, 10). The other is a small, apparently 
square coin, measuring f of an inch, weighing 11 grs., and showing on 
one side traces of a conventional stupa (P) surrounded by an illegible 
legend: the other side is quite indistinguishable. The only, hitherto 
known, coin with a stupa, I believe, is a square copper one of Agathocles, 
in Brit. Mus. Cat., No. 15, p. 12 (pi. iv, 10). 
IV. Indo-Scythian Coins. 
The coins of this class number 10, and belong to two distinct 
periods, an earlier from about 50-130 A.D., and a later from about 
490-570 A.D. 
(a) Early. 
These coins, numbering 9, were found in the collections M. 2, M. 3, 
M. 6, G. 10, and T. 1. They came from the Khotan country, and their 
condition shows that they have been dug out from ancient sites. 
(1) Kadphises II, c. 50 A.D., two coins, copper; obv. and rev. 
designs just discernible, legends quite obliterated; type (obv. King
