No. 11. (Plate II, 11). Silver. Weight 171 grs. Mint Lalcnauti. 
Date, month Ramazan 653 A. H. New. This money is said to be derived 
from the land revenue of Eadan and Nawadiya f (Bardwan ? and Nadiya). 
This coin, in the arrangement of the surfaces and in the style of 
execution of the letters,J very closely resembles Nasir-ud-din’s coin, No. 10. 
As regards the obverse, this resemblance is even closer to Nasir-ud-din’s 
coin, No. 9, in one point ; viz., in resuming the scroll (instead of the 
words) in the segments. There can be no doubt, that Mughis-ud-din, 
when he made himself independent of Nasir-ud-din, imitated his coins, as 
nearly as possible.
