N. B .—Those emperors or princes whose coins only show a few 
mints are shown separately from the emperors of whom many mints 
are known. 
A complete discussion of the names of the towns given in the list 
is impossible. Some of the places have not been identified, and there is 
dispute about others. I only propose to make short notes on a few of 
them. 
Itawa (a). —The coins in the Lucknow Museum show that the 
change in spelling from to IjlSf took place in the 42nd regnal year 
of Aurangzeb. Coins dated 42 julus and 1109 A.H. are spelt in the 
former way, and those dated 42 and 1110 in the latter method. Khafl 
Khan 1 says that an order was issued to make this change (the examples 
he quotes being Malwa, Bangala, Baglana, and Parnala) in 1103 A.H. 
Ajmir. —See also under Salimgarh. I have been unable to find 
any reference to this name for Ajmir. It is doubtless connected with 
Shaikh Salim Chishti from whom Prince Salim took his name. The 
copper coin of Akbar bearing the mint name Salimgarh Ajmir is dated 
982 A.H. Shaikh Salim died in 979 and Prince Salim was born in 
977. 
Islamabad. —It is uncertain at which place this mint was situated. 
It has been usual to consider that Chittagong was meant, but Dames 2 
favours Chakna in the Dekhan, on the ground that it was conquered 
earlier. As shown in the list, I have a coin of Shah Alam II with 
Islamabad Mathura as the mint. Rodgers had already suggested the
