1 These four coins of the king seated on throne type were In the Kodgers Collection, and
are briefly mentioned in his Catalogue, but are otherwise unknown and unpublished.
I think the attribution to KLanishka is certain because of the size and style, which are
quite different from those of Huvishka's copper currency. This new type is known with
OH|>0 and MAO reverses only. I found a specimen of the MAO variety some years ago
in Ambala City, and have identified another in the B. M. Collection. I know of no others.
