134 V. A. Smith —Numismatic Notes and Novelties . [No. 2, 
kaiisa , which seems to be la, the last syllable of kujula. I interpret 
kaiisa as an abbreviated genitive corresponding to KadpUsou in the 
Greek. 
The reverse device is as novel as the legend. 
When about to send this paper to the press I found that two coins 
of this type, (though not quite identical) had already been described by 
Cunningham ( Num . Chron. for 1892, pp. 46, 64, PL xiv. (iv), 5, 6.) 
He describes the king’s head as “ helmeted ” and reads the Greek 
lecrendas KoZoYAo KA.KoPZAN : and the Kharosthi legend as 
kuyula kasasa kusana Yaviiasa. The second word on the coins now 
published is certainly kaiisa , not kasasa. It is impossible to mistake the 
character for u, which is a hook with loop at foot. 
The following statement compares the newly discovered coins 
with the related types previously known, which are 
I. HEHMiEUS. 
Obv. Bust of the King r., diademed :— 
BAZIAEnS ZTHPoSZr EPMAloY- 
Bet\ Throned Zeus. 
KharSsthi legend, Maharajasa mahatasa Heramayasa. 
B. M. Gatal. p. 65; Yon Sallet, p. 117). The correct reading of 
the Greek legend sterossu as an adjective in the genitive, the equivalent 
of mahatasa , is due to Mr. Hapson, in J. B. A. S. for 1897, p. 320. 
II. Herm^eus and Kadphises I. 
Obv. As above, with same legend sterossu. 
Rev. Herakles, standing, facing, diademed, holds in r. hand, club ; in 1., lion’s

(B. M. Catal., p. 120 ; Von Sallet, p, 118.) 
III. Kadphises I. 
Obv. Bust r., as in I and II. 
Greek legend K^P^NA (or similar word, probably intended as an equivalent 
for Kusana— the letters vary) K<>ZoY A° (or KoZ^YAA) KAAOlZoY- 
Rev. Device and Kharo§thI legend as in II. (B. M. Catal. p. 122; Von Sallet,

(No. Ill) was a Ku§ana chieftain, who reigned at first as colleague
