999 (ni, sgil, dapi mimo 999 A.H. I at first thought this ought to be of the Jaipûr mint ( is) as the word is without dots, but Jaipur was not in existence in the time of Akbar. The mint of Chitor is not mentioned in the Ain-i-Akbarí. Mr. Oliver read this mint as Qananj (3), J. 4. S. B., Vol. LV. 1885, Pl. xi., fig. 23.4 Fig. 15. Obv. :

PLATE II. Fig. 19. Obv. :
911 in que los WWIJL year 966 A.H. Rev.:-The kalima in two lines. This coin is one of two known specimens of Akbar's coinages with the kalima on the Reverse. Fig. 20. Obv. :Rev.:
SHINY (Seatin) suy Xust - jud 47 year Ilâhi. This is the first time a four-tanke piece has been published. Two-tánke pieces were published some time ago by me, which I mistook for coins. No higher weight has yet been found, although such are mentioned in the Ain-i-Akbari (Gladwin's Ed., Vol. II. p. 383). Fig. 23. Obv.:Rev.:--
P i ly gue 46th Ilahi Lahôr mint. This is another four-tanke piece. The name, however, on it is tanke, not tánke, as on the specimen from the Agra mint. Fig. 29. Obr.:Rev.:
divult
47th Ilâhî, Kâbul mint. This is a four-tanke piece of the Kábul mint.
. Given that Mr. Rodgers has drawa this coin correctly it seems to me to read clearly got i.e., grine and not get as he reads. It cannot therefore read 909, though it might possibly read agii w Mr. Oliver says, on the original coins. Chitor Dyin is the correct spelling.-RC. TEXPLE.]
