The brief history of this puppet king is told by Thomas in his 
Chronicles of the Pathan Kings of Dehli, pp. 176 and 177. 
The first rupee of this Sultan turned up at Jaunpur a few years 
ago. It was acquired by the Government of the United Provinces and 
is now in the Lucknow Museum. That coin, however, is in compara¬ 
tively poor condition. The coin now being described was acquired sub¬ 
sequently at Nahan (Sirmur State), and judging by its appearance 
cannot have been in circulation for any length of time, every letter 
on both sides being perfect. These two specimens in silver and a few 
copper coins are all the coins known of this unfortunate young Sultan.

Pl. III. 1. 
The striking of coins in the name of his father is a well-known 
incident in the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlak. Two such coins—one 
gold, the other silver—are noticed by Thomas on p. 212 of the Chron¬ 
icles. Though the name of the Mint is indistinct on the gold coin 
and is not recorded on the silver piece, it is probable from their ap¬ 
pearance that the coins were issued in the Dekhan. Another coin bear¬ 
ing the name of Ghiyasu-d-din Tughlak but struck after his death is 
described on p. 190 of the Chronicles, and the crude rendering of the 
word on the reverse area, together with the absence of any 
distinct margin, led the author to catalogue the coin as one struck by 
the first Tughlak in A.H. 721. Subsequent finds have however fixed 
the dates of issue of this class of coin as 726 and 727, and their origin 
was the Dekhan, specimens being known struck at both Daulatabad and 
Telingana. 
The object of the present note is to draw attention to a similar 
gold coin struck at the capital Dehli. This coin I believe has only 
once been noticed—by Major F. W. Stubbs in the Proceedings of the 
Asiatic Society of Bengal for 1870, p. 302. On that occasion it was
