Recently Mr. P. J. Chinmulgund, I.C.S., District Magistrate of Poona, acquired a sixth coin of this type from a Delhi dealer and has published it in \*J.N.S.I.\*, XVII, part II, pp. 104-6 and Pl. IX. 5. Unfortunately the photograph published is rather poor in quality and is perhaps not to the size. The diameter of this coin is .72" and weight 123.9 grains. The type and motifs are the same as those on the coins published here on Pl. XIII. 3-6. It is stated that the concluding letters of the circular legend on the obverse, \*Kumāragupto jayatyaniśam\* are more distinct than those on the coins in the Bayana hoard; but the photograph is too poor to enable us to appreciate the remark. - [Previous: c19.136](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.136) - [Next: c19.138](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.138) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.137](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.137) · Pramāṇa
