The lead coins of the type with a Ship with two masts were ascribed for a long time to Vāsiṣṭhīputra Puḷumāvī, though it was admitted that the reading of the name of this king was by no means certain. Fresh coins since discovered show that the issuer of these coins was in fact Yajña-śrī-Sātakarṇi. We describe the type below; the photograph in the plate is an enlarged one. Lead; 0-8 in.; 125-7 grains; *JNSI*, iii, 43. *Obv.* Ship with two masts; legend *Raṇa Sāmisa siri Yaña Satakaṇisa*. *Rev.* Ujjain symbol. Pl. LXIV, 3.
