60 C. J. Rodgers— Some Coins of Ranjit Deo. [No. 1, 
sixteenth parts, however, show that in other parts of the empire there was 
one acknowledged standard weight for the tankah. 
I do not intend this paper as an answer to the kind papers of Mr. 
Thomas and Mr. Keene. It is rather an apology for my former paper 
and its mistakes, and is intended as an additional contribution to our 
knowledge of Akbar’s copper coinage. I do not know the date of the 
completion of the A'in-i-Akhari , but in it a very incomplete account is 
given of Akbar’s copper coinage. Our cabinets, however, provide us 
with coins of the whole reign from the 963 year coins of Narnol to the 
50th Ilalii year coins of Agra. It remains for historians and revenue 
officers to discuss the matter in the light these new coins give. 
I may add that the Ain Akbari gives many subdivisions of the 
rupee of Akbar, and that as my cabinet contains specimens of each 
piece, I shall, if I can find time, give a plate of these subdivisions. 
P. S. Since the above was in press I have visited Agra, Muttra and 
Delhi and have obtained two Agra tankahs ; several nim tank ales, one of 
Agra; two chhdrum hissa i tankahs , and one Kabul do tanke piece. All 
these tend to confirm what I have advanced in this paper. 
Some Coins of Ranjit Deo, king of Jummu a hundred years ago.—By 
Chas. J. Rodgers, Principal , Normal College ,, Amritsar , 
(With a Plate.) 
In the first year of the present century Ranjit Singh “ the Lion 
of the Panjab ” conquered Lahore. For many years after that event, 
he was so constantly engaged in subduing the whole of the cities and 
states of the Panjab that his name and fame seem to have hidden alto¬ 
gether the name of a better man who bore the name of Ranjit Deo and 
who ruled in the hill state of Jummu or Jummun as we shall see from 
coins. 
Writing of Jummu, Mr. Frederick Drew in “ The Northern Barrier 
of India says : “A century ago the old regime was flourishing under 
Raja Ranjit Deo; he is still spoken of with the highest respect as a 
wise administrator, a just judge, and a tolerant man. At that time the 
direct rule of the Jummu Raja hardly extended so much as twenty miles 
from the city ; but he was lord of a number of feudatory chiefs, of such 
places as Akhnur, Dalpatpur, Kiramchi and Jasrota, all in the outer 
Hill tract, chiefs who governed their own subjects, but paid tribute to 
and did military service for, their liege lord of Jummu.
