From this Table it appears that the Salim! coins find their place 
between Akbar’s and Jahangir’s, and that the period of their issue 
covered nine consecutive months. In complete accord with the arrange¬ 
ment indicated in the Table my collection shows, either in silver or in 
copper, Akbar’s coins struck month by month from Farwardin till Mihr 
of the Ilahi year 50, but none later than Mihr. Next in evidence are 
the Salimi coins of the year 50 beginning with Aban (PL I. 6) and 
continuing without a break till Isfandarmuz (PI. I. 7. 8). ; aud thereafter 
month by month from Farwardin till Tir (PL I. 9.10) the Salimi coins of 
the year 2. Then follow, last of all, the “ heavy rupees ” of Jahangir, 
dated not 1014-1 but 1015-1, 1015-2, 1016-2, 1016-3, &c. 
In support of the opinion that the Salimi coins of the year 50 
precede those of the year 2, one further piece of evidence is noteworthy. 
Ex hypothesi , the first Salimi coins to be struck were those of Aban 50. 
1 Cf. D. E. VI, 302. On line 12 of page 302 correct 22nd to 21st, and 1603 to 
1607. 
2 D. E. VI, 316. 1016 H. being an intercalary year, its month Zu’l hijja 
contained 30 days.
