66 A. F. R. Hoernle— A New Find of Farly Muhammadan Coins. [No. 1, 
the Dehli supremacy. Altogether Mughis-ud-din’s independent Saltanat 
cannot have lasted much longer than two years (653 and 654). 
SUPPLEMENT. 
Since writing the foregoing account, I had occasion to examine 
the Muhammadan coins in the Society’s cabinet, in conjunction with the 
Hon’ble Mr. J. Gibbs, C. S. Distributed in various bundles and mixed 
up with Pathan and Moghul coins, we found a small number of coins of 
the early Bengal series. These I afterwards examined with the following 
result. It will be seen that there are among them a few pieces of consi¬ 
derable interest. 
There were 8 coins of Shams-ud-din Altamsh. 
3 „ of Gliiyas-ud-din Twaz, 
3 „ of Jalalat-ud-din (Rizryah). 
2 „ of ’Ala-ud-din Mas’aud Shah. 
6 ,, of Nasir-ud-din Mahmud Shah. 
2 „ of Mughis-ud-din Yuzbak. 
I. Coins of Shams-tjd-din Altamsh. 
No. 13. Silver. Weight 148 grs. A duplicate of No. 3; but 
margin altogether illegible. 
No. 14. Silver. A duplicate of No. 4 ; now in the possession of 
Mr. Gibbs, by exchange. 
No. 15. Silver. Weight 164^ grs. A variety of Nos. 4 and 14. 
Margin partially legible &bo j jj»$£ .Pate 630. 
The variety consists merely in the slightly different formation of the letters. 
No. 16. Silver. Weight 151^ grs. Like Nos. 4 and 14 in every¬ 
thing but the date, which is 632. The margin is almost complete

No. 17. Silver. Weight 148-g- grs. Apparently a badly preserved 
duplicate of No. 16. 
No. 18. (Plate III, No. 1). Silver. Weight 161 grs. Belongs to 
type No. XXXI in Thomas’ Chronicles , p. 53. But in the present coin 
both marginal readings are not identical. According to that on the 
reverse, this money is derived from the land-revenue of Kanauj and some 
other place the name of which I cannot read.

No. 19. Silver. Weight 165 grs. (Plate III, 2). Unique. It belongs 
to type Nos. 4, 14, 16 (or No. XXX in Thomas’ Chronicles, p. 52), which 
it resembles in every respect, except that it names Lahnauti as its place of
