R. Barns —The Mints of the Mughal Emperors. 
[No. 2, 
Alam II, published by Major Yost 1 as doubtful. It seems to me more 
probably a coin of Najlbabad. The silver coins of Husainabad are 
unmistakable. 
Deogarh. —The reading of this name by Oliver on a dam of Akbar 
is doubtful, and it is possible that Dogam is the correct reading. There 
is no doubt about the name on rupees of Shah ‘Alam II. 
Zain-ul-bilad. —Dames 2 quotes Zinat-ul-bilad as a mint of Rafi’- 
ud-darjat. Taylor has, however, shown 8 that that mint is really Ahrna- 
dabad. The coin here referred to is different. 
Fathabad. —I have only seen a rubbing of the coin with this mint, 
and there is something besides this name, which Mr. Nelson Wright 
has suggested may possibly be Dharwar. 
Farrukhabad. —This mint is at first without any other name, but 
from ‘Alamgir II it is called Ahmadnagar Farrukhabad. The earliest 
date I have seen from which the second name is used is the third year 
of ‘Alamgir II, while Farrukhabad alone occurs as late as the seventh 
year of Ahmad Shah or 1167 A.H. The Bangash territories of Farrukha¬ 
bad were confiscated in 1163 A.H. under Ahmad Shah, of Delhi, 
but were recovered by Aljmad Khan Bangash the next year. It seems 
to me probable that the latter gave his name to the town, in view of 
his later successes. 
Muhammadnagar. —In the inscription on the coin of this mint in 
the Panjab Museum as given in the Catalogue, p. 226, No. 16, it does 
not appear that there is also another name. That coin is dated in the 
11th regnal year and 1183 A.H. I have seen two other coins.of 
Muhammadnagar, one dated 11 and 1184, and the other 12 without a 
Hijri year which exactly resemble this in type, but in addition to 
Muhammadnagar there is a name which may be read as Banda or 
Tanda, viz., As one of these coins turned up in a treasure trove 
in which all the coins were fairly new, and all the known mints were 
in Rohilkband, it seems probable that this mint is to be placed there, 
but so far I have been unable to trace in. Tanda seems to me the most 
likely name, as this is fairly common in the sub-montane districts and 
means an encampment of Banjaras, who are especially numerous there. 
Mustafa-abad. —Dames refers 4 to three places of this name: “ One 
is in the Dekhan, being another name for Chopra (see E.D., VII, 307) ; 
one is in the Doab between Agra and Mainpuri, and one in what is now 
the Ambala District, which was plundered by the Sikhs in A.H. 1121
