1881 .] A. F. R Hoernle —A New Find of Early Muhammadan Coins. 57 
II. Coins or Ghiyas-ttd-din ’Iwaz. 
No. 5. (Plate I, 5). Silver. Weight 165 grs. Unique in this variety. 
Date : sixth month of 621. 
The legend on the obverse is much like that on coin No. 7 a in Mr. 
Thomas’ Initial Coinage of Bengal, Pt. II, p. 357 (J. A. S. B. vol. XLII) ; 
but the last phrase of that legend is omitted here, and the words are 
differently arranged. On the reverse, the legend is as on his No. 6a ( ibidem , 
p. 356), but with a different date. The letters, especially on the obverse, are 
excessively badly formed. The two first numerals of the date are very much 
worn, but sufficient is distinguishable, to determine the date as 621. It 
cannot be later than 622, as Khalif Nasir-ud-din died in that year; nor can 
it be a date in the second decade of the 7th century, because the second 
numeral is clearly (not j or 8^-c), and because the similar coins 
Nos. 7 and 7 a of Thomas are of 620. No mint is named ; but of course 
it must be some Bengal mint, as Ghiyas-ud-din was ruler of Bengal.

III. Coins of Jalalat-ud-din (Rtziyah.) 
No. 6. (Plate I, 6). Silver. Weight 166 grs. Mint Laknauti. Date 
[631]. 
This coin agrees in every respect with the coin No. 90 in Thomas’ 
Chronicles, p. 107, and No. 2 in his Initial Coinage , Pt. I, p. 39. The 
agreement even extends to the imperfect marginal legend. It is to be 
noted, however, that in the present coin the word “ daughter” is 
placed between and ijfLLJf. The date unfortunately was on the lost 
portion of the margin.*
