c19.93

A second coin of this type was sent to me by Rai Krishna Das for examination. It is illustrated on Pl. XIX. 10. I am informed that this coin was acquired in Delhi. Its obverse and reverse are identical with those of the coin published by Hoernle and discussed above; but its circular legend is different. This need not surprise us, for we have other instances of the same type of this ruler like the Lion-slayer and the Chhatra types, whose circular legends differ though the type is the same.
