(Tenth king.) 
In my former Essay, I published three coins of this king, dated 
818 and 821. The Hon’hle E. C. Bayley has since found specimens dated 
from 818 onwards to 824. #

Specimens of this coin do not appear to be very rare. I only lately 
saw three with a Calcutta podar; hut they were entirely defaced and there¬ 
fore useless.

(Twelfth king.) 
The following inscription belonging to the reign of this king was found 
by Mr. Westmacott laid in a tomb near the Port at Maldah. The stone is 
not in situ; it must have been taken from a mosque built by one Hilal in 
A. H. 859.

The coin is, no doubt, posthumous; and the reason assigned, namely, Timur’s inva¬ 
sion, is the only satisfactory explanation that can be given. The Jaunpur coinage offers 
another example; for the earliest dated coin given by Mr. Thomas (Chronicles, p. 321) 
is of 818, and the first two Jaunpur kings (796 to 804) struck no coins. Besides, this 
posthumous A’zam Shall! of 812 helps us perhaps to fix the reign of Bayazid Shall; for 
as Bayazid’s coins commence with 812, it seems as if his reign lasted from 812 to 817.
