A Y. K. Iloortile— Cold Coins from Jalalabad. [April, 
partly effaced, and on its summit something like a trident or flower ; double 
frontlets and fillets ; in the right hand an iron-bound maee carried erect ; 
in the left a sceptre (apparently a stalk with flowers and leaves, as. in 
Wilson’s A. A., PI. XIV, 1). Inscription on the right and left of the coin ; 
below the bust some ornamentation, taking the place of the legend of No. VI; 
the monogram, on the left (No. 8 on PI. I, table III), differs from those of 
Kadphises and Kanerki. 
Reverse —Standing male figure ; general posture as in No. XI, to the 
front, head to the right; upper part of body naked, with a chaplet of 
balls round the left shoulder; the lower part dressed in ordinary Brah- 
minical dhotie; hair thickly matted, and done into a knot on the summit ; 
nimbus round the head; four arms each with two armlets, one at the 
wrist, the other above the elbow ; in the upper right hand an Indian 
drum, in the lower a hook or anlcusa and a sort of sceptre (held 
cross-wise); in the upper left hand a long trisula, held cross-wise 
(like the staff in No. XIV) ; in the lower, placed nearly a-kimbo, a 
short noose, by which he is leading after him an animal. The latter in 
Nos. XV and XVI looks very much like a deer or goat. On the present coin 
long bristling hair is distinctly visible on its body. It is very small, stand¬ 
ing below the angle of the lower left arm, and (in Nos. XV, XVI, though 
not in No. XVII) looks as if rising towards the figure on its hind legs. 
Monogram and inscription as in No. XV. Circle of dots along the rim. 
Both as regards execution and preservation this is a very good speci¬ 
men. The Greek characters generally resemble those on the coins of 
Kanerki, see PI. I, table II. But N appears in the still ruder shape 46 and 
hardly distinguishable from 21 for II. Nos. 44, 45 evidently are the forms 
intermediate between 42 and 46. 
Explanation. Obverse —The inscription is the same as on Nos. XI to 
XVI, only substituting ooijp/a for k avrjpia; thus on the right PAoNANo PAo 
o; on the left oHPKI KoPANo; i. e., paovavo pao ooypKi Kopavo “the king of 
kings, Hvirki, the warrior-chief.” The Greek omjp/a represents the name of 
king liuvisliha (see Ed. Thomas’ Jainism, pp. 11, 12) and must, there¬ 
fore, bo read IwirJci (see p. 126) or hverlci. 
Reverse —Figure and inscription as in No. XV. 
II. Roman Coins. 
These are of three different reigns ; of Domitian, Trajan, and Hadrian . 
one specimen of each. 
1. Domitian. 
No. XVIII. Obverse —Bust of emperor, with legend AVGVSTVS 
DOMITIANVS. Circle of dots round the rim.
