I67i] ROJAMAUL TO PATTANA 117
COYNEING RUPEES
Here stayd till about 3 clock, when went to the
Tanksall \tankasala^ tahsal^ taksal^ mint] where Rupees
are coyned. In the way thither happened a blast of
wind which had like to have overset my Pallenkeene.
I see them make, but not stamp, Rupees ; but the
stamp is broad, beeing cut in steelc, and haveing the
characters on a rupee in 5 places cut upon the Rupee
(vizi.*)) upon the middle, and round about 4 ; so they
ly the Rupee upon the middle and another stamp upon
the rupee, and so stamps both sides at once.
This towne of Rojamaul is at least 2 or 3 Course
long,37 The streets are many of them paved with
cobble stone, but now much broken as is the towne
demolished.
