168 C. J. Rodgers —Notes on the coins of the Tabdqat-i-Ndsiri. No. 3, 
added four supplements in the pages of this Journal. It may be re¬ 
membered that my first small attempt 'was a paper on the coirs of 
Khusrau Shall and Khusrau Malik, the two first resident Muhammadan 
kings of Lahore. At the time I wrote this paper I was not aware that 
Mr. Thomas had written his paper on the kings of Ghazni. This did not 
so much matter, as my paper was written thirty-two years after that one 
by Mr. Thomas, and dealt with other coins. Mr. Thomas gives in his 
paper two silver coins of Khusrau Shah and five coins of Khusrau Malik. 
Major Raverty thus notices Mr. Thomas’s paper (see note, p. 114). “ In 
Mr. Thomas’s paper on the Ghazni coins, there is unfortumately no notice 
of the last two monarchs of the house of Sabuk-Tigiu, and there are no 
coins of theirs, or the dates I have referred to might have been tested ; 
but a work I have by me supplies some information on the subject, and 
confirms the statements of Fasih-i, and the older writers. A coin of 
IQrisrau Shah’s, therein noticed, contains the following inscription, 
which I translate literally :— 
Obverse :—Stamped coin in the universe, with magnificence and 
grandeur, the great Radshah Khusrau Shah. 
Reverse :—Struck in the city of Lohor, A. H. 552, the first of 
his reign. 
Another coin of his son Khusrau Malik, also struck in the Panjab, 
contains the following inscription :— 
Obverse,—Zaliir-ud-Daulali wa ud-Din, Sultan Khusrau Malik. 
Reverse :—Struck in the city of Lohor, A. H. 555, the first of the 
reign.” 
About this note I have a few remarks to make. Rut I would 
first notice that Khusrau Shah is called in the text “ Sultan Muayyan- 
ud-Daulah wa ud-Din ” (p. 111). To this on the same page (footnote 8) 
is added “ In a few copies he is styled ‘ Yamin-nd-Daulah ’ only.” 
On all the coins of Khusrau Shah’s which I have seen he is called 
“ Midizzu-d-daulali Khusrau Shah ” only. With respect to the inscrip¬ 
tion, given by Major Raverty as being on the coin of these kings, I 
would remark that in fill the coins of these kings of Ghazni (lie name 
of til© mint and the year of the Ilejirah are always on the margin which 
encloses a second inscription. In no case is the year of the reign given. 
I havo seen soino thousands of Ghazni and Pathan coins of Dohli, hut 
as yet I havo never seen tho year of the reign given on one. The 
years of the reign began to bo struck by Akbar in his 30th year which 
lie called 30th Ihibi. (Seo my Rupoes of tho months of Aklmr’s llahi 
years, Journal A. S. R. Vol. Id I, IM. I 18K3, pp. 97-105 with two plates.) 
Jahangir struck (lie year of his reign ami the year of t hi' Ilejirah on 
his coins. After his 5th year he also called the year of his reign Ihihi.
