There are seven (or six) of these, all apparently of Firuz II (458-484 
A.D.) Plate I, Nos. 5 and 19. They belong to M. 2. They are of 
some mixed metal, and inextricably baked together in two clumps, one 
consisting of three and the other, apparently of four coins, weighing 
192 - 5 and 205'6 grs. respectively, and measuring P125". 
YI. Medieval Hindu Coins. 
(c. 900-1100 A.D.). 
These coins number 8, and belong to the following two classes, 
(a) Maharajas of Kashmir. 
The Kashmir coins number 6. They belong to M. 6, and were pro¬ 
cured from Khotan, probably found in its Bazars, and not in sand-buried 
sites. They are similarly still found in Kashmir and India. There 
has always been commercial intercourse between Khotan and Kashmir.

aksara, illegible, on reverse.
