3. Ghiyas-ud-din Balban \ a new mint. PI. I. 3. 4. 
Towards the close of 1902 a rupee of Ghiyas-ud-din Balban was 
brought to me, similar in type to the coin illustrated by Thomas (Chro¬ 
nicles of the Pathan Kings of Dehli, PI. II. 42), but differing in its 
marginal legend. Unfortunately the latter is not perfect. A portion 
of it is, however, sufficiently preserved to enable the place of mintage to 
be deciphered with clearness. The legend on the reverse runs 
^ .....jAiliaJLw 
[Struck in the district of Sultanpur.. ...in the year 679 A. H.] 
On the obverse, too little of the margin is left to be of any further 
help. The coin weighs 165 grs. 
Twelve months later I came across a confirmation of the above 
reading on a small copper coin of the same king of the type given by 
Thomas on p. 135 of his Chronicles No. 115, Plate II, Fig. 45. This 
little coin on the reverse has instead of eithe words 
The coin weighs 31 grs. 
To which Sultanpftr this coin should be assigned I am unable to say. 
It cannot be the Sultanpur (Warangal) of the coins of Muhammad bin 
Tughlak, as Warangal was not named till late in the reign of Ghiyas- 
ud-din Tughlak. There was a Sultanpur within a short distance of old 
Dehli, but it is unlikely that there should have been two mints in such 
close proximity. 
It is more probable that the “ Khita Sultanpur” of Balban was in 
or near the province of Bengal which was the scene of the principal 
expedition of that monarch’s reign. H. N. Wright, C.S.
