II. In H. 982 and thereafter for several years the Enins exhibi¬ 
ted a design more elaborate and ornate (Fig 2). On the obverse the 
honorific epithet Dar-al-saltanat was associated with the mint name 
Ahmadabad, and across both the obverse and the reverse was inscribed 
'a diameter of dots flanked both above and below by a straight line

III. In snpersession of this variety there appeared in the year 
Ilahi 38 (H. 1001), or perhaps earlier, a third form of Fulus (Fig. 3.) of 
a markedly different design, the reverse inscription being entirely new. 
From the obverse legend both the technical term and the mint’s 
title Dar-al-saltanat are omitted, so that only the two words Fulus 
Ahmadabad survive. On the reverse above the dotted and linear diameter 
the term Ilahi is written in full, with its final ye swooping backwards right 
across the coin, while to the right we have in figures the year of issue 
dating from the Ilahi era. The lower half of the reverse is reserved 
for the Persian name of the month of issue. Thus :—

My cabinet contains a sub-variety of this type of Fulus (Fig 4) in 
which the ornamental diameter composed of dots and lines is wanting on 
both obverse and reverse.

Mr. Franrji also possesses a Fulus of this type (6) of the same year 
but of the month Dai. 
A second sub-variety (Fig. 5) is represented in my collection but again 
by only a single specimen. This coin differs but slightly from the nor¬ 
mal type (a). The final ye of the word Ilahi in the reverse legend is now 
protruded instead of retracted, and the figures indicating the Ilahi year 
of issue are placed not to the right but to the left. Thus :—
