but square forms of the Greek
letters.

The above twenty-six coins are typical specimens of this very
abundant type. They exhibit both the round and square forms of
the Greek letters, and differ largely in style and workmanship. The
bust may be intended for the representation of a deity. If it is the
king, there is little or no attempt at portraiture.

1 This coin is of what has been called the MathurS type—see L M. Cat., vol. i, and
Cunningham's Coins of the Sakas. I have found it in Delhi and Jagadhri, and it probably was
current in what is now the S.E. Panjab. Under the thunderbolt on the reverse side
is an object which Cunningham called a monogram fonned of the Greek letters 17 and A,
and which Prof. Gardner described as an altar. I think that coin No. 112 clearly shows that
this object is merely the lower part of the thunderbolt. The die-sinker's idea of a thunderbolt
was vague, and on this coin the bolt is terminated at the ends by a bow and trident
respectively.
