Bat none of Cunningham’s coins agrees exactly with Mr. Talbot’s. 
The male figare device (which Cunningham calls reverse) of his figure 
10 is identical with that of the piece now published, but the elephant 
side of Cunningham’s coin had the legend in Kharosthi, not in Brahmi 
characters. 
Cunningham’s fig. 12 depicts a coin which must, I think, be 
attributed to the same king as Mr. Talbot’s coin. It is thus described:— 
“Plate IV, Fig. 12. M. 0’55, weight 32 grains. Author. 
Obv .—Elephant to 1. Arian legend, Rajna Bhdnu Mitasa. 
Rev .—Bodhi tree and two Symbols, snake below. Indian legend, [Rajna] 
Bhdnu Mitasa.” 
The combination of the snake and elephant connects it with 
Mr. Talbot’s coin. 
But I am doubtful as to the attribution of Cunningham’s figure 13, 
which is thus described :— 
“ Plate IV., Fig. 13. 2E. 0‘4. Weight 16 grains. Author. 
Obv .—Symbols as on reverse of figure 12. Indian legend Bhdnu, Mitasa. 
Rev .—Rayed disc of Sun (Bhdnu) above a Buddhist railing.” 
So far as I can see, the symbols on fig. 13 are not exactly the same 
as those on the reverse of figure 12. 
In fact, the coin depicted in Plate IV, 13, is a duplicate of the small 
coin of Bhanumitra depicted in Plate VII, 9, among the Pancala or 
Ahichatra coins. The Mitra coins do not invariably exhibit the character¬ 
istic incuse square. 
When describing a small Bull and Bodhi-tree coin of [A] gi Mitra 
with incuse, Cunningham (PI. VII, 16, page 83) observes that “ this 
coin may, perhaps, belong to the Panjab.” 
Mr. L. White King possesses two minute coins of Bhadra Grh5sa. 
One, of which I have a duplicate, is like Canningham’s PI. VII, 11, 
with incuse distiuct. The other has no distinct incuse. 
The small coin of Bhanumitra figured in J. A. S. B. Pt. I for 1880 
(Vol. XLIX), PI. Ill, 8, shows the incuse square distinctly, and agrees 
in this respect with the ordinary Ahichatra coins. That piece was found 
at Ahichatra. Otherwise it agrees with Cunningham’s PI. IV, 13, and 
V II, 9, neither of which has any distinct incuse square. 
Cunningham’s treatment of the various Mitra coins of Ayodhya, 
Ahichatra, and the Pan jab leaves much to be desired.
