This interesting coin belongs to Mr. C. S. Delmerick. The read¬ 
ing of the inscription seems certain. Three Mahmud Shahs reigned over 
Bengal. The latest was Ghiyas-ud-din Mahmud of the house of Husain, 
and his coins are well-known and differ from this in style. The second 
is represented in the B. M. Catalogue by two silver coins. Nos. 103 and 
104, page 42. In the footnote to the same page it is pointed out that 
this king used the pseudo-patronymic Abu-1-Mujahid. There remains 
Nasir-ud-din Mahmud I. who used Abu-l-Muzaffar, and it appears 
reasonable to attribute the coin to him. Though the reverse reading 
given above agrees entirely (except in arrangement) with the inscrip¬ 
tion on the coin of Mahmud II. referred to above, the obverse reading 
differs, and the use of the expression Abu-l-Muzaffar seems conclusive. 
No other coins of Mahmud I. appear to have been published.
