‘Alam Bahadur succeeded his father in A H. 1118 so that the third 
year of his reign would begin in 1120. It may be that the reign was 
sometimes reckoned from the date on which Shah ‘Alam overcame his 
brother, Kam Bakhsh (Zi-1-Qa‘dali 3, A.H. 1120), or from the date 
of his victory over his brother Muhammad A‘zam Shah in A.H. 1119, 
in which case the third year of the reign would have extended into 
1122. I read the inscriptions as follows—

(2). Ho. 15, pi. II, is another coin of Shah ‘Alam Bahadur I, of 
the Elicpur mint, bearing the date 1120. The inscriptions are as 
follows—

Under the last two letters of l Alam there appears to be an orna¬ 
ment similar to that on the coin last mentioned. The figure 2, repre¬ 
senting the year of the reign is clearly legible on the reverse of this 
coin, which follows the ordinary reckoning of the years of the reign 
of Shah ‘Alam Bahadur. 
(3). Uos. 9 and 10, pi. I, are two coins of Shah ‘Alam Bahadur I, 
both of the Elicpur mint but of slightly different types. No. 9 is 
dated 1121. There is no date on No. 10. The inscriptions on the 
reverse of the coins are differently arranged. There were four of 
these coins in the find, two of each type. I read the inscriptions as 
follows—

(4) There are seven coins of Shah ‘Alam Bahadur I, all of the Elicpur 
mint and all dated 1121. These coins are similar in type to the coin 
illustrated (No. 52 ) in plate XY, Yol. LXIY, Part I, of the Journal, 
and there is no need for me to illustrate them here. *
