1885.] 0. J. Rodgers —On some more Copper Coins of Akbar. 
No. 3 is the property of Dav. Ross, Esq., C. I. E., M. R. A. S., &c. 
Traffic Manager Sind, Panjab and Delhi Railway. No. 14 belongs to L. 
White King, Esq., 0. S., a most indefatigable numismatist. The remain¬ 
der are from my own poor cabinet. 
By comparing this list of coins with that published in my former 
paper, it will be seen that of Akbar’s Copper Coins we have, now, know¬ 
ledge of the following :— 
weights in grains.

I know of only one on e-tanke piece and of only one on e-tanke piece 
both of which are given in my papers, and neither of which belongs to me. 
I have seen only one nisfe and one-fourth part of a tankah and one 
eighth part. Sixteenth parts are common. I have about a dozen of 
them. The tankah is as rare as it is larg-e. The halves are still rarer. 
The two given in my paper are the only ones I have yet seen. The 
cabinets of other numismatists and of museums may contain others. Of 
the mohur one specimen is published by the Honorable Syud Ahmad, 
C. S. I., in his edition of the Ain-i-Akbari. But in a conversation I had 
the other day with him, he disputed this reading, and was inclined to 
my former reading zarb. 
I am not going to bring forward any views of my own on this occa¬ 
sion, or make any deductions from the coins. I will simply quote a 
letter sent me by General Cunningham, after we had discovered the 
tankah and its parts, and thus fixed the weight of this coin. 
My dear Rodgers, 
Simla, 5 th July , 1883. 
Ever since we got the Tanka of Akbar fixed I have been think¬ 
ing of Akbar’s revenues, and at last I think that I see some light.
