delighted to see these coins as they present quite a new way of inscribing the legends. Some of the coins bear the same inscription on the obverse and reverse, while others have obverse of one type and reverse of another type. This may be the result of the illiteracy of the workmen who were employed to strike these coins. These coins will be fully described in the catalogue given below

Copper coins of Musaffar Shah II with Sle UI alá have not been described up till now. Coin No. 6 is similar to No. 5 but it presenta the strange way of writing able Viala. This coin proved difficult to decipher because the upper stroke of s is joined with I, thus giving a strange appearance.
No. 7. 220 grains : Mint ? : A.H. 930.
