ACTUAL SPECIMENS OF VIMŚATIKA COINS—B. Durga Pd. of Banaras informed me that he obtained heavy *kārshāpaṇas* of silver from Rājgīr. These coins weigh from 78 to 80 grains. They are now in the Lucknow Museum (acquired as part of the late numismatist's collection), and from their fabric and symbols it can be said with certainty that they represent an earlier stage than the 32 *ratti kārshāpaṇas*.
