This extremely rare coin was obtained in October, 1903, nearly 
40 years after the first specimen was discovered by the late Pandit Ra- 
tan Narain of Dehli, with whose collection it passed into the possession 
of Mr. J.- H. Durkee of New York (U.S.A.) many years ago. That 
coin was edited by Mr. J. G. Delmeriok in the Journal of this Society 
for 1881, and again by Mr. J. Gibbs in the Numismatic Chronicle in 
1885. The coin recently acquired is similar in tjpe to other rupees of 
this period and bears the following legends :—

Margin. 
Shamsu-d-din, the son of Muizzu-d-din Kaikubad, was only 3 years 
old when he was placed on the throne of Dehli as the ostensible Sultan 
by Jalalu-d-din Firoz Shah after the murder of the Sultan Kaikubad. 
Three months later when Jalalu-d-din had succeeded in consolidating his 
own power, the infant Sultan was also put to death. This was in the 
year 689 A.H.

1 The discus is regarded by Prof. Gardener as a mere symbol on the coin ; but 
I think the actual weapon is intended. I think it is represented also on the silver 
coins of Nahapana by the round dot which always occurs in conjunction with the 
Arrow and Thunderbolt. ( see Cunningham, C.M.I., PI. I. 3; Bhagvanlal, J.R.A.S.,
