PREFACE. 



fTIHIS book is intended for the help of those who, not 
being Arabic or Persian scholars, would like to know 
something about the Oriental coins which may come in 
their way, as well as of others who with a knowledge of 
these languages find difficulties in the lettering, arrange- 
ments, and reading of the legends, which are often so 
different in these respects from the plain writing of a MS. 
or the print of a book, and in the meanings of marks and 
symbols which are to be found on coins. 

It originated in notes, made during several years, in 
a copy of that valuable but now scarce book, " Elements 
de la Numismatique Musulinane," by R Soret, Brussels, 
1864, a reprint from Revue de la Numismafique Beige, 
ser. iv, tome ii. Considerable correspondence from India 
and at home, personal references made to me, and the 
remembrance of my own troubles when beginning to work 
at Oriental coins some years ago in India without much 
aid frgin.books, have guided me as to what might be most 
usefully included in such a Manual as this. 

The book will, I' hope,' b'e found useful, as one of ready 
reference, to Oriental numismatists generally, in the same 
way as Soret's has been to those who had a copy of it. 

My thanks are due to Mr. Guy Le Strange and Mr. H. R 
Ainedroz for information regarding the location of some- 
mint towns, and to the latter also for help in Arabic legends.

THE ALPHABET, 

Osr Plates 1 and II are shown the letters of the Arabic alphabet 
In the various forms in which they appear on coins. In each 
column, on the left is the letter as written in Kufic on the coins 
'of the Umayyad Khalifs, in isolate, initial, medial, or final form; 
and following it to the right are other shapes in which it appears, 
more or less in order of time and progress of change. 

\ was at first a straight, even, perpendicular line of a height 
about double that of the ordinary letters. It has not much 
changed, except in showing a slight curve at the bottom and 
a broadening at the top. It may be joined to its preceding 
letter, but not to the one following, and is therefore in only 
isolate and final form. In ornamental writing the top of the 
letter is often curved over and lengthened into a curl or loop, 
and when the legend is arranged in. arabesque or fancy pattern 
it is often misplaced from its proper position in the word, or 
slanting, or even omitted, an \ in another place doing duty 
for it also. 

L.J O % <i? . The diacritical dots are often omitted (always so in 
the Kufic) ; there is then nothing to distinguish these letters 
from one another, or from ^ aad ^j in the initial aad medial 
. state. In Persian there is also the letter LJ , and in Hindu- 
stani the O , or, as it is more often written on coins, ^ ; it is 
so found on some of the coinage of Indian native states 
bearing the name of ftueen Yietoria, 



<?, ~ > ; 'and im Persian . Itese letters are also to be known 

(L C C: (.','' 

one another by their dots; they are subject, as will be

seen, to many variations of form, and may sometimes be mis- 
taken for c or c . 

J in KiiHc are very like ^j* ^o ]s ]o and uJ, but as a rule the 
upright limb is shorter than in the uJ and the body is open 
on the left side instead of closed as in the ^ . On coins of 

later date the j is sometimes so thin as to be almost a j , and 
at other times approaches in fatness to ^ . 

, i final are sometimes very like ^ final. In Hindustani there 

is a letter ? or . . 
> j 

j* i do not present much difficulty when in this form, but 
when the upright limbs or ' teeth ' are replaced by the 
sweeping curve of Persian talilc writing, in the middle of 
a word it may be read as L-J L-J ^^ ^ or ^ , 

tjs tje k - are troublesome in Kufie, as mentioned above under J . 
They are subject to a good deal of variation in form. 

c v as initial or final niav be mistaken for . + . 
Cc " e. c. 

uJ j must not be mistaken for * medial or ^ , nor as initial for 
c c . The loop in medial is above the line (A) instead of 
below, as in * . 

t^ has many varieties, and in Kufic is very like J and ^ , as 
mentioned above. In Persian and Turkish there is also the 
letter ^f or u/. 

J can almost always be known from \ by the curve to the left at 
the bottom, or in Kufic a short rectangular turn. 

* has many forms. Sometimes it may be confused with uJ j or 
c medial, or L^J and - initial, or in one form for & or ^ . 

U final has many variations ; may easily be mistaken for final j , 
x has many forms, but is usually easily made out. 

^ is sometimes like < $ jj , at other times like ^ , and more rarely 

like 4 . 

ij final or isolate is usually distinct, but medial or initial without 
dots is not so. 



THE ALPHABET. 3 

l f is represented in such a variety of forms that an assortment of 
them is given on the Plate. 

c ny and wJ> p are used in Malay- Arabic writing only. 

For reading Kufie coins, which have no diacritical dots, the 
following hints may be useful. The mint name and the date are 
tlie only parts as a rule which require attention. The mint names 
all begin with the preposition <_? , in ' or at.' If the second 
and third letters are both equally about double as tall as the 
initial < > , they are probably J \ 'the J there are but two or 
three mint towns beginning with J! . In that case the next letter 
will be the initial of the name, which, having been made out, 
simplifies matters much, as one can then get the help of the List 
of Hint Towns.' If the second and third letters be not J\ , then 
the second is of course the initial of the mint name. Two short 
upright strokes will probably be u~? C-2 or ^ with a following ^ ; 
often the stroke for ^ is a little taller than for the other three 
letters. Three short upright strokes in succession are most likely 
\j* , ; four, u* jji and (~~J cj ^ or ^ before or after it the 
three strokes of the ^ are usually just a little shorter than the 
one before or after it. Doubts as to Kufic J ^ t uJ may often 
be cleared away by looking at those letters where they occur in 
known words in the legends on the same coin, such as L ^o , 1 JJ& , 
s^aJ , uJo .-) , and in the same way comparison may be made if 
needed with the * and * . A final ^ can very often be found in 
one of the words of the date to clear up a doubt between it and j . 
In reading the dates care is needed not to mistake ^-.xil (one long, 
three short strokes), Li-Jj (one short, one long, one short), and 
L^-V-J (four short). .*} and .j***** should have the fourth stroke 
rather taller, ^*J and jj.***uJ the first stroke taller than the 
others ; but there is sometimes so little difference that it is hard 
to tell which is meant. ^^AMAJ>. and <J^AJ are sometimes much 
alike, but if the strokes after the A can be counted, that will decide 
as to which numeral it is, for in the former there are five and. in 
the latter but three. 



AID 



The dates of striking are almost always given on Husalmai. 
coins, in words or in ciphers. Until the seventh century of the 
Hijra we find the former only, but after that ciphers came 
gradually into use, so that by the beginning of the ninth century 
they were generally adopted. The earliest dates in cipher are on 
TJrtukid coinSj e.g. II r on a coin struck at Amid. Sometimes we 
find the date given both in words and ciphers, or partly in words 
and partly in ciphers ; e.g. on a coin of the Golden Horde, c/^y^ 
for A.H. 770. The number is usually expressed in the feminine 
form, but sometimes in the masculine. The conjunction ^ is 
almost always used, e.g. &x/ ^^-^ * *-*wJ ? but occasionally 
omitted. Reference has already been made to difficulties in 
reading some of the numbers in the Kufic writing. The same 
will be found often on coins of a later time, especially with regard 
to seven and nine, as sometimes there is no difference between the 
height of the L^ or O and the teeth of the (jw , but then the 
spacing usually indicates, thus ^^^ , ^x*^ . The following 
is a list of the numbers.

NUMBERS AND CIPHERS. 7 

The Arabic ciphers, in varying forms in which they appear on 
Muhanimadan coins, are given on Plate II. They are often ill- 
formed, and require a practised eye to read them. The I may be 
out of place, slanting one way or the other, or mixed tip with 
neighbouring lettering. T may have its horizontal arm shaky, 
and so look like T. T sometimes has its arm so irregularly formed 
as to be taken for i~. P has more variety of shape than any other 
cipher, and in one of its forms is the same as one variety of . 
The form % is used on Turkish and African coins. has many 
forms too, but usually it is either 6 or o . The is some- 
times too small, and therefore like a figure used for 0. 1 may 
have its arm at an acute angle ancl so be taken for V, or be 
reversed to T, or have its arm rounded and nearly closed at the 
top and so be like Q i . v ancl A are usually pretty distinct, but 
sometimes they slant a good deal, even to the extent of lying on 
their sides ; in that case they may be taken to have fallen over to 
the right, so that < is V and > is A. ^ may be like a 1 if not 
closed at the top, and is not rarely reversed, i.e. with its ring to 
the right. "When ten is indicated by it is not always visible, 
and when is used there is a doubt sometimes from its size 
whether 5 or is intended. 

Bates expressed in ciphers are read from left to right, except 
those on the coins of Maisur (Mysore), which, as in Arabic writing, 
are written from right to left. But sometimes the whole date is- 
by mistake reversed, e.g. ^AV for VAp O n a coin of the Golden 
Horde, and sometimes with the further error of the ciphers being 
reversed, e.g. 1 A V for VAf. Sometimes, too, the ciphers are not 

placed in order in a Ike, but distributed in the area of the coin, 

IIP t 
e.g. | r ^ P on coins of Shahs of Persia. Generally, however, in 

any of these cases there is not much difficulty in discovering the 
error or in seeing the proper order of the ciphers, as one can tell 
from other signs what is within a century or so the age of a coin. 



NUMISMATICS, 



DIACRITICAL 

These are ? as has been mentioned, almost always omitted on 
Knfic coins ; on later ones they are found irregularly generally 
there were none or only a few until comparatively modern times. 
When given they often do not help much in the reading of the 
legend, from being placed not immediately above or below the 
consonant of which they form part ; and on coins which are 
ornamented, as many are, by dots and groups of dots, it is not 
easy to tell which are for use and which are for decoration ; 
a difference in size or shape, will, however, often indicate this, 
The vowel marks are almost always omitted as in ordinary writing. 
The two dots indicating the o or <j are sometimes placed like 
a colon (:), and the gronps of three in u* *. ,p may be arranged 
in a line (...). On the Kufic coins there are ' points' above or 
below certain letters in the legends which seem to be marks of 
genuineness or engravers' marks, although they are often the 
correct diacritical ones for the letter near which they are placed, 



ISOLATED LETTERS AND WORDS. 



ISOLATED LETTERS AID WORDS, 

In the areas of Arabic coins, sometimes above, sometimes below 
the legend and not forming a part of it, are often found letters or 
words, the signification of some of which has been a good deal

X OP TYPES OF COINAGE. 11 



OBIGIK OF OF C0XIAGE AND 

VARIETIES. 

At the time of the rise of the power of the early Ehalifs, the 
coinages of the regions -which were brought under their rule were, 
speaking generally, the Byzantine in the "West and the Persian 
Sassanian in the East. At first, following the usual practice of 
Oriental conquerors, the new rulers made use of that which was 
the currency of the country, altering the coins by degrees 
to be indicative of the new ruling power and religion, but 
making the changes so gradually as not to give an unfamiliar 
appearance to the coins in the eyes of the people, but to preserve 
the continuity of the accustomed coinage with only such changes 
as were necessary. Thus we see in the earliest gold of the Khalifs 
an imitation of the coin of the Byzantine emperor adapted by the 
figure of the Ehalif with a sword in his hand being substituted for 
that of the emperor holding a staff with a cross on it, on the 
obverse ; and on the reverse the cross, standing on four steps, 
altered into a column with a ball on its top. The legends OR 
both sides are changed to Arabic ones in Kufic character : 



CU-v-J <U*d ,X>A!| iJJb L-jJe <UJl *AiuJ 

Similarly the silver coins of the last Sassanian king were altered 
by the additions of crescents and stars and <d! \ +HJJ on the margins, 
and later by the name of the governor of the province being added 
in Kufic in the area. So, too, the Byzantine copper of the 
M variety of Heraclius had small additions of Arabic Ifusalman 
words on them. Others in copper of the same type as the gold 
above mentioned were also struck. 



N NUMISMATICS. 

Then when the Khalli Abd-al-Malik In A.H. 76, In compliance 
with the rale of the Prophet "which prohibits the making of 
representations of living things and declares that every painter is 
in hell-fire, established the first purely Musalnian coins, he still 
preserved in them a semblance to the gold Byzantine and silver 
Sassanian, in size, form, and general appearance. Mr. G. E. Eeary ? 
in an article in the Numismatic Chronicle for 1885 and 1886 on 
The Morphology of Coins," shows that the reverse of a coin of 
Khusru II, turned a quarter round, at a little distance seems 
almost identical with one of Abd-al-Malik, struck at Basra A.H. 79 ; 
but, looking closer, one sees that the two figures with a fire altar 
between them on the former are replaced by three lines of Rufic 
Arabic on the latter, and the marginal Pehlvi legend altered to 
a EMe one also. But the marginal circles are preserved almost 
intact, and the crescents and stars on the one have changed to 
corresponding annulets in the other. 

There was little variation from this type in the coinage of the 
Umayyads of Spain, the Abbasid, Buwayhid, Samanld, Hamdanid, 
Ukaylid, and other dynasties in Irak and Yaman up to the times 
of the Mongols, but in Africa the Aghlabis, according to Mr. Keary, 
whose Morphology on Coins" supplies the substance of these 
paragraphs, founded their currency in both gold and silver on the 
pattern of the gold coins of the Abbasis. The Fatimis followed 
the Aghlabis with the development of a new variety, i.e. coins 
which have their inscriptions arranged in a series of concentric 
circles. Their successors, the Ayyubis, adopted at first the same 
pattern, but later changed it to a plainer form in straight lines, 
and this form was continued without much change by theMamluks. 
In about the beginning of the sixth century A.H. the enclosing of 
the area legend in a compartment came into use squares, star- 
shapes, circles, ovals ; 4, 6, and 8 foils, etc. This is noticeable in 
the Ayyubid, Saljuk, and especially in the Mongol series. 

There was a remarkable departure from the Musalman type in 
some of the coinages of Asia Minor and Syria Ayyubid, Saljuk, 
Urtukid, and Zangid in reverting to imitations of Greek, Seleucid, 



ORIGIN OP TYPES OF COINAGE. 13 

and Eoman coin obverses ; heads and busts, and full and half figures 
of men ; horsemen, eagle, lion and sun, centaur, etc. This, no 
doubt, arose from a desire to adapt the coinage to that current in 
the neighbourhood and in use in the trading transactions with 
the West. 

The coinage of the Mongols of Persia followed much the same 
pattern as that of the dynasties which they supplanted, and the 
same character was continued up to and throughout the reigns of 
Tinmr and his house. 

But in the farther East there was an altogether different initial 
type the Bactrian, from which sprang the coins of more solidity 
and thickness developing into the rupee. The two great coinages 
of the Muhamniadan world of modern times show a marked 
difference suggestive of varying original types, more so perhaps 
a century ago than now. Compare, for instance, a gold or silver 
coin of jSTadir Shah of Persia with one of Sultan llahmud I, his 
contemporary in Turkey. 



liaMe is the language generally used on ITusalman coins, but 
Persian is that which is usual on the coinage of the Shahs of 
Persia, the kings and emperors of Dehli, native Indian states, 
and the East India Company, mixed in the cases of the two last- 
named with some Sanskrit or vernacular words, and llalay on 
coins of that region. 

In this book all legends in the Arabic character are taken into 
consideration, for although some coins bearing them were not 
issued by llusalinan rulers, and so should, strictly speaking, 
perhaps be excluded, yet all with Arabic lettering upon them 
were issued for the use of, or to be read by, Huhammadans, by 
whom alone that character is used, or were imitations of Uusalman 
coins, It is convenient to thus arrange Oriental numismatics 
into Husalman, Chinese, and Hindu. 

But there are many bilingual and some trilingual coins which 
are specially interesting in an historical way, and should be con- 
sidered. As has been said above, the earliest Husalman coins 
were copied from Greek-Eoman and Sassanian ones, with Arabic 
additions; they are therefore bilingual, having in the former 
series Greek and Latin, and in the latter Pehlvi legends, the 
Arabic additions being either pious phrases of translations of the 
mint names or some words indicating genuineness. There are 
also some early African imitations of the Byzantine coinage with 
Latin legends, which have been read as Non est Deus nisi Deus et 
Alius non est " and In nomine tuo, Deus Omnipotens" ; these 
were followed by others having on them the Kalima in Arabic, at 
first in part, afterwards entire. 

The coins of Tabaristan, a detached province of the Persian 
Empire, were of a slightly different module to those of the 
.Sassanian proper 3 although of the same type, being smaller and 



LANGUAGES. 



finer with Tabaristan upon them in Pehlvi. After the conquest 
of the province "by the Arab Musalmans, governors were appointed 
whose names are to be found upon the coins at the side of the 

Sassanian king's head, written in fine Kufic : .A 



Of Northern India at the end of the third century (Hijra), there 
are coins of the horseman and bull variety, with Sanskrit on one 
side over the bull and the name of the Khalif juJuS\ on the other 
above the horseman. The same type was used by some of the 
Ghazni kings, and also later by the early Pathan kings of Dehli. 

As early as A.H. 660 a coin of Khubilay Khan was struck at 
Bukhara with Chinese on one side and Arabic on the other, and 
there are coins of the time of the Muhammadan rebellion in China 
in the last century which are also in both these languages. 

The jSTorman kings of Salerno and Sicily, who drove out the 
Saracen chiefs from those regions in the seventh century (Hijra), 
issued Arabic coins in imitation of some of the Ayyubid, but with 
a Christian formula of faith in imperfect lettering which might 
easily deceive their Muhammadan subjects. In the same way 
Alphonse VIII of Spain struck coins on which were in Arabic the 
ascription to the Holy Trinity and the declaration that he was the 
Amir of the Catholics, and the Pope the Imam of the Church of 
Messiah. 

Georgia, from it's position, was overrun by invaders from the 
north and south at all times, and its coinage shows a strange 
variety, of bilingual character, in consequence : at one time 
imitation of Sassanian, at another Byzantine with Greek and 
Georgian, at others Georgian and Arabic, and in the time of the 
Mongol power, Georgian, Arabic, and Mongolian. 

Mongolian writing is also seen intermixed with Arabic on many 
of the coins of the Mongols of Persia. 

Armenia was in much the same position as Georgia with 
regard to exposure to invasions. Its coinage, with the Christian 
king on one side and a lion on the other, with Armenian marginal 
legends^ was, during the time of subjection to the Saljuks of Asia 



16 MUSAL11AN NUMISMATICS. 

Minor in the seventh century (Hijra), changed into one having 
on one side the figure of the king and Armenian legend, and on 
the other side Arabic legends similar to those on the contemporary 
Saljuk coins. Also when a little later the Maniluk Sultan Xasir 
al-Din Muhammad raided Armenia, he overstruck the Armenian 
!dng ? s coins with his own coin dies : an unusual proceeding for 
an Oriental king. 

In India, some of the later Dehli kings, as well as the earliest 
before referred to, used the Devanagari characters on their coins 
as well as Arabic, and the last kings of the dynasty had their 
names on coins in the same characters as did also kings of Bengal. 

M. Drouin quite lately discovered a Sanskrit legend upon a gold 
coin of Akhar. 

Many native states of India have bilingual coins, partly in 
Persian, partly in the vernacular of the state, and sometimes partly 
in English. The East India Company issued bilingual, trilingual, 
and even multilingual coins using English, Persian, Hindustani, 
Bengali, Tamil, and Telugu. In the Straits there are Company 
coins with. English, Persian, and Malay legends, and one with 
Chinese in addition to these three. 

The Netherlands Government issued coinage for their states 
with Malay reverses to the obverses of the European pattern. 

The Portuguese, although in other ways very ready to imitate 
the coinage of their neighbours in India, never used the Arabic 
character. The French, on the other hand, imitated the Behli 
coinage as closely as did the English. 



ORXAMBXTATION. 17 



ORNAMENTATION. 

The ornamentation of Musalman coins lies chiefly in the 
lettering, the arrangement and grouping of the inscriptions, and 
the shapes and arabesque outlines of the spaces in which parts pf 
the legends are enclosed. This is seen at its best probably on the 
Hafsidi and other Moorish, the Persian Mongols (TJljaitu and Abu 
Said), and the Safavi of Persia (Ismail I and Tahmasp I) coinages. 
On the later Persian and Dehli coins, too, it is fine. The Persian 
style of writing lends itself well to this in curves, graceful sweeps 
of the pen, and prolongation and grouping of the letters. One 
very common practice is to prolong the tail <-_ the full breadth of 
the coin, and to stretch a <-~? or ^J right across so as to make 
them as dividing strokes between the lines of the legend. The 
word ^Ls , so important in the Shiah formula, is a favourite one 
for using in this way : for instance, on coins of Tahmasp I of 
Persia, in the way which Mr. Poole called the mill-sail pattern, 
where it forms the four arms of the sail-wheel with the names of 
the eight other Imams two by two between them, the junction 





of the four initial letters forming a rosette in the centre. On 
Behli coins, too, the names and attributes of the four orthodox 
Khalif s are used in somewhat the same way to form the sides of 

2 



18 3OJS1L3IAN XUMISlfAIICS. 

quadrangular areas. The EMc character also Is used to form the 
square geometrical pattern in which, the Kalimah Is arranged on 
the pretty "bilingual coins of Abu Said, the Persian Mongol. 

Interspersed commonly on the coin areas are dots in groups and 
singly, annulets, rosettes, sprigs of flowers, knots, and so on. 
There are, however, certain figures called tamghas which seem 
meant to be the signs of particular dynasties or persons or 
countries. It is hard to describe in words many of them, or to 
say what they are intended to represent, or in what they originated. 
Some, as on the gold coins of Great Saljuks, are at the top of the 
area ; others, as on the large Urtukicl copper coins, are at the side 
or bottom. Some suggest an imitation of a monogram on a Greek 
or Parthian coin ; others, as the fleur de lys on the Mamluks and 
the thunderbolt on the Great Kaans coins, are recognizable, as is 
also the double-ended trident of the Golden Horde. The curious 
figure in the centre of the area of the Chagatai coins, somewhat 
like the Greek letter >, has been thought to be the Tibetan letter 
cJia inverted, the initial of Chagatai. 

The representations of animals are numerous, and made in all 
times. They are sometimes indicative of a place, or peculiar to 
a person or dynasty, as the double-headed eagle on Urtukicl and 
Zangid, the lion on the Mamluk, the lion and sun on Saljuk and 
Persian Shahs, the fish, birds, and human figures on the Basulid 
coins, and the many varieties on the autonomous copper coinage of 
Persia. 

The coins of the later Moghul Emperors of Dehli and of the 
native States, struck in the same pattern, have almost always 
a symbol within the loop of a final letter on one or both sides. 
These are sometimes sufficiently peculiar to be indicative of 
a particular State or mint ; such, for example, as the sun-face of 
Indore, and the curiously shaped dagger, like a pair of scissors, of 
Kutch ; but more often the symbol is not peculiar to one State or 
mint. Prinsep, in his " Indian Antiquities," gives a plate with 
some 126 of these symbols on it, and attributes them to some 
extent ; but there are many more than he describes, and some of 



ORNAMENTATION, 19 

those wtdeli lie attributes to one are also OIL coins of other States. 
These symbols on modern Indian coins being, in many cases, the 
only mark by which the currency of one State may be distinguished 
from that of another, it has been the endeavour of several Indian 
numismatists to reduce them to order and locate their use ; but 
it is a very difficult matter, for many of them have been used by 
several States, and many States have used several symbols at 
different times, and local knowledge and tradition give but little 
help. The symbols, moreover, are not always mint-marks, but 
seem, sometimes to have been used to indicate the issue or the 
year ; for example, more than thirty different symbols are to be 
found on the coins of the Dehli Emperor Aurangzib, struck at Surat. 

Perhaps, of all these Indian symbols, the one which is most 
remarked is the J.H.S. on coins of Kashmir. Two or three ex- 
planations or reasons for the use of this Christian monogram have 
been given, but no doubt it was expected to be a lucky symbol.* 

The Tughra is peculiar to the Othmanli coinage. It is a mono- 
gram consisting of the Sultan's name and that of his father, 
of which the composing letters intercross and have their upright 
portions prolonged upwards, curled and twisted in such a way as 
to make an interlacement difficult to decipher. 

* General G. G. Pearse, C.B., E.A., writes as follows : " Whilst Lord 
"William Bsatmck was Governor- General of India, 1828-35, two very remarkable 
conversions to Christianity took place ; one was of a celebrated Muhamniadau 
Moulvie, the other of an equally celebrated Brahmin, by name Ammd. These 
men were great controversialists, and their change of religion caused much stir 
and excitement. Annncl died, leaving a son, Anund Messiah, a sharp, intelligent 
man, good-looking and full of energy, a very stormy petrel of a Christian, never 
so happy as when launching his Christian controversial arguments at the heads 
of Hindoos. In 1850 Anund Messiah was at the court of Maharaja Goolab Sing, 
of Cashmere, In the Spring of 1851, when I was Assistant -Commissioner of 
Hazara on the Cashmere frontier, Anund Messiah, who was passing through 
Hazara, came to pay his respects to me. I saw a good deal of him for a few 
days. "With much delight he showed me the new Cashmere rupees of G-oolab 
Sing, with the Eoman letters J.H.S. conspicuously in the centre of the coins 
amidst the Persian. He said he had induced the wily, clever Dogra king to place 
these letters on his coins, assuring him that thereby he would please the British 
Indian Government, and would himself be favoured by fortune. Never was any 
Muhammadan who had somehow managed to make an unbeliever say the Kalima 
more delighted than was Anund with this little bit of work of his." 



MUSAL3IA3S" XUXISMATICS. 



EELIGIGIJS LEGffil BS. 

Some pious expression or religious plirase or formula is very 
general upon all Musalrsian coins. On the early Khalif ones there 
was nothing else, except the date and, on the silver, the mint ; 
a little later the name o the king or ruler was given ; then titles 
and other particulars about the king were added, displacing a good 
deal of the religious forms ; so that when we come to modern times 
there is little of them left. On a modern Turkish coin, for instance, 
there is nothing in this way but s^sj \z , and on a coin of the late 
Shah of Persia nothing but the names and titles, with mint-place 
and date. 

These religious legends may be divided into (1) formulce, or 
symbols as they are sometimes called ; (2) verses or phrases taken 
from the Horan; and (3) pious expressions or ejaculations. 

(1) Formulae. 

The formula ' Bismillah ' is found very commonly on coins of 
earlier times, usually as the beginning of the legend referring to 
the striking of the piece: ^l^!l 1X& <--^ <d!\*Mj . But it is 
often, too, in other parts of the ield or marginal legends, sometimes 
detached, but more usually prefixed to the Kalimah or other 
professions of faith such as are to be seen in the following list, 
and in that case the formula *p~Jh tf^j^ *&\*** is used as it 
Is at the beginning of all Musalman books and writings. On coins 
of one of the Mongol kings of Persia, Arghun, and on some of 
Syria and Palestine, struck under Christian influences, there is 
substituted for it this formula : (jwjjJiM ^-^}\ 5 crf^ J ^'^ (^ 
J^li <dS "in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy 
Ghost, one God." The same formula is lengthened on coins of 
Alphonse Till of Spain into : (jwiJJi!! ~$)\ j ^)\ . c^S! ~uj 
(or U!L ^.<j j*w) USL ^J*^ ^\ ^ J^H M "In the 
name of the Eather and the Son and the Holy Ghost, the one God; 
whoso believeth and is baptized shall be saved."

TJie Jialhnah. 

The Kalimah (Z*&\ literally 'the Word/ called also the 
* Muslim Creed,' and In numismatic books generally the Muham- 
madan symbol or formula, is found on most of the coins of rulers 
holding the orthodox faith (Sunni). The first, or negative part 
of it, <d)l 111 ail N J, is taken from, the 47th surah of the Koran, 
verse 21 ; the second part, affirmative, *U1 Oj^j AA.S-'*, is in the 
29th. verse of the 48th surah : " There is no god but God, 
Muhammad is the Apostle of God " (Palmer's translation). The 
Kalimah is often followed by one or more of the ' Pious Phrases ' 
given in the list below, such as the following : Jusj <ule <xU\ ^u* 
d\ J^ j Uis <dSl Jus _ <dl <d^J! - (UU &\ Ju*. The first 
part of the Kalimah is followed by other endings than the above : 
e.g., & t*^jj$ $3&.j "who has no associate," the formula used 
on the early Khalif coins ; <d! AS ^\ . ilSb SI Jy D ail A$jA\ 
^SJl ^ 31^ Lujl dllb SI ^y3 *lT^^3l\ - *tf 1^1 J^ "who 
gives complete deliverance." The second part is varied as follows: 
, <d!l j* 
U. id!! 



^.^ . 

On a coin of a Sultan of Dehli the Kalimah is in this form : 
<^* *jj\ A,*^ ^ d^l jj <dl\ 3\ *J1 S ^\ j^l " I testify that 
there is no god but God, and I testify that Muhammad is His 
servant and apostle." On coins of rulers of the Shiah sect the 
Kalimah has added to it 4-U! ^* tc^ " ^ ^ s ^ e ^ en ^ ( or 
favourite) of God." This constitutes what is referred to in 
numismatic books as the Shiite formula.

^0*^1 *UJI *! 4^ S J1 A\ i 1 <dl! "God, there is no god but He! His 
are the excellent names " (Palmer). By tradition there are ninety 
and nine excellent names ' or comely names/ but there seems to 
be no certainty as to what those 99 are, as different writers give 
different lists. Hr. Redhouse, in an article in the Royal Asiatic 
Society's Journal, 1880, on "The most Comely Sames," gives as 
many as 552, which he had obtained from various sources ; from 
these have been gathered, in the following list, those which are 
the most often used, according to authors (Hottinger, Herklot, 
Meninski, Rogers Bey, Yratislas, T. P. Hughes), and usually found 
on talismans and amulets, for they are much used in that way.

CLASSIFICAIIOf OF COIIAGES, 

In the introduction, to the first volume of the British Museum 
Oriental Coins Catalogue it is said," These plohammadan dynasties] 
will be arranged in the order proposed and adopted by Fraehn," 
and in other books on Oriental numismatics reference is made to 
such and such a class. But Fraehn's arrangement is not to be 
easily found, although so spoken of as if it were generally known. 
It is here given in the original form as published in the Nova 
Supplementa" of that author, ed. B. Born, 1855 ; and alongside 
each class is added the name of it as used in this book and in 
modern books generally, and the volume of the Catalogue of 
Oriental Coins of the British Museum in which the class is 
described. 

It will be seen that many coinages are not included in Fraehn's 
list, notably the Kings of Dehli and the ITuhamniadan States of 
India. He himseli made some appendices, and Dorn, Soret, and 
others did the same. Mr. Stanley Lane Poole, however, in his 
" Mohammadan Dynasties/' a book of the highest value to the 
student of Oriental numismatics, adopts an arrangement of the 
dynasties, after the Khalif s of Baghdad, in geographical order from 
west to east, i.e. from Spain to India, with certain modifications 
arising from historical sequence ; and that arrangement is one 
which, probably, will now be generally followed. 

This table of classification will also, it is hoped, remove some 
difficulties as to names or synonyms used by writers ; for instance, 
Chulaguidse and Hulaguidi for the Ilkhans or Mongols of Persia, 
DschutschidsDj Dsehudschidse, and Jujidse for the Ehans of the 
Golden Horde, Ileki and Eelik for the Khans of Turkistan, Patani 
for Pathan Kings of Dehli, Sebaktiginiclse for the Ghaznawi or 
Kings of Ghazni, and Babaridse for the Moghul Emperors of Dehli,

These counter-marks are of various shapes^ round, oral, multi- 
foil, etc., having usually within double lines the words in small 
letters arranged in a pattern, and are often hard to decipher. 

The coins of the Native States of India often bear marks of 
stamping with punches of various shapes, known in that country 
as shrof -marks ; they are made by money-changers, uJU*s, sarraf, 
commonly called shrof, in the bazaars as private marks for 
currency purposes, and also to see whether the coin is really all 
silver or gold or a baser metal coated over, and they correspond 
pretty much to the chop-marks made on dollars in China. Counter- 
marks are not common on them, but occasionally ^sft or some other 
JNagari letter or two may be seen. 



56 MUSAL31AX XOI 

The names of iiusalmans are not easy to understand, and are 
often a difficulty to the student. The following, taken mainly 
from an article on *' The Proper Xames of the Ifohammadans," 
by Sir T, E. Colebrooke (Royal Asiatic Society's Journal, 1879), 

will explain the system. 

The different classes of proper names are seven : 

1. The ^L? , Alam, is the proper name of the individual. Among 

the Musalmans there are no family names as in Europe, 
and the Alam corresponds nearly with the Christian name, 
as it is given soon after birth or at circumcision, and is 
that by which he is familiarly known. 

2. The <L^ , Ejinyat, is the name of relationship, as when a person 

is described as the father, son, mother, or daughter of some 
other person or object. 

3. The u-^JL! , Lakab, includes titles of honour, religious and 

political, and terms of reproach, descending even to personal 
defects. 

4. i.AwJ^, al-Ansab, or L^-W*J * J , Ism-i-nisbat, name of 

relations as to origin, kindred, land of birth or adoption, 
religion, trade or business, personal or other peculiarities, 
etc. 

5. <uLJI , al-Alamat, certain titles borne by princes which are not 

reckoned among the personal appellations, but appear in 
diplomas or in the heading of State documents. 

6. The (j\^y Anwan, titles of honour applied to others than 

princes. 

7. The u^s*, Makhalas, or u AsC, Takhallas, the name of 

fancy assumed by poets. 

The Alam are arranged under three heads, viz. : (1) Names 
borne by Muhammad's own. family or his companions, including 
the name of the Prophet himself in its threefold form 



PROPER NAMES. 07 



the praised, ^z~\ the most praised, and **** the praised), 
JUJsU - (juz , the first four Khalifs and the twelve Imams. 
(2) Sanies of patriarchs and prophets mentioned in the Koran, such 
as >jl Adam, iJU.^ Seth, (^.^ Enoch, - J ^oah, >U Shem, 
^Jb^jl Abraham, J-ow-sl Ishmael, fj^s^\ Isaac, <>* Jacob, 
_ L^rl Joseph, L-^-jt-i Jethro, J^y Hoses, ^,b> Aaron, c^yj 
Job, L^J^-J Jonah, !?jJ Lot, CJ*Jli Saul, Jjlj David, ^l^Ls 
Solomon, ^-^ Zechariah, y .~? j-s Ezra, u-Ul Elias, ^c"^ Jesus, 
.^sT John, jyb Hud, &\y*\ Imran. (3) <d!l A f , servant of G-od, 
and its synonyms, i.e. servant of God under any other of His 
names, e.g. 



Some of these are also included under Lakab. 

The Kunyat might be translated as the surname or cognomen ; 
it is made up generally of *>\ father, or ^\ son, with the name of 
the father or son, as J^-s*^ *J\ - s*~^ [ ^j\ , or with some other 
word making a sort of character name, sobriquet, or nickname, 
such as ija&>- *}\ father of a young lion, ^j **\ father of victory. 
Under this class come such surnames as Babar, Arghun, Aghlib, 
Arslan, Timur, and others. 

The Lakab, or honorary title, is applied either in the form of 
a compound, of which those expressive of zeal for the faith or of 
political importance are the most common, or by a single word or 
epithet, like the Augustus, Pius, or Felix of the Romans. The 
Lakab is largely used upon coins, and ruling princes are more 
known by it than by their Alain or Ivanyat. A list of those found 
oa llusalman coins is given below, and as a help in attributing 
coins the class or dynasty in which the particular title was used 
is added. 

The al-Ansab and the Takhallas need not be considered with 
regard to coin-legends, but the al-Alamat and the Anwan are of 
much interest in numismatics, as the kingly titles are in many 
cases characteristic or peculiar to the dynasty ; a list of them is 
therefore given of a similar kind to that of the Lakab.

POETICAL IEGEIDS, 

The legends on coins in the Persian language are often in verse, 
called o-j, couplet, distich. Sometimes they are in a double 
couplet. Owing to the way in which the words are arranged to 
bring the verse within the compass of the area, they are difficult 
to make out, so a fairly full list of them is given below, with 
translations, the latter being those in E. S. Poole's " Shahs of 
Persia," S. Lane Poole's "lloghul Emperors/' L. "White King's 
'"Baiakzai," il. Longworth Dames' "Durrani Dynasties," and 
C. J. Ptodgers' various writings. 

The verse begins most often, as is the case too when the legend 
is not in verse, at the bottom, and is to be read upwards, as in 
(<T.) Persian Shah Nadir Shah 'So. 2 ; sometimes at the top, as 
(5) Persian Shah ITahniud No. 2 ; sometimes at the second line 
from the top, as (c) Persian Shah Ashraf No. 2, or lower still, as 
(rf) Ashraf No. 3 : in these two, (c) and (d), it will be seen the 
reading is first upwards for the first verse and then downwards 
for the second. In all these examples, too, the words or parts of 
words are not consecutive in the way given in the couplets as 
written out and as the metre and rhyme require, but are placed 
or divided in a fanciful way. Often one verse of the couplet is 
on the obverse and the other on the reverse of the coin, as 
(e) Jahangir No. 22, which begins at the top of the obverse 
and bottom of the reverse. (/) The double distich on the five 
muhr piece of Jahangir No, 7 gives an example of several of these 
difficulties on one coin.

The Abjad, 

The f^k>, chronogram, composed by means of the Abjad system, 
is but seldom found on coins, although it is commonly used to 
record dates in MSS. and inscriptions. The Abjad, so called from 
the first four letters J ^ c-> \ in its table, is an arrangement by 
which each letter of the Arabic alphabet represents a number in 
the following scale : 

\ = I u/or uJ = 20 jf oi j = 200 

c-J or t-j = 2 J = 30 ^ = 300 

^ or T = 3 p = 40 cL> or cu = 400 

4 ^ = 50 L*J = 500 

5 (jw = 60 ^ = 600 
v a = 6 cj= 70 j = 700 

j or j = 7 uJ = 80 yo = 800 

- = 8 yo = 90 fe = 900 

\y = 9 j = 100 c = 1000 

o = 10 

The date is found by adding together the value of the letters 
composing the word or words indicated, as will be seen in the 
following examples. 

On a coin of Fakhr al-Din Kara Arslan, Urtukid of Kayfa, 
there is alongside the head on obv. yJ !L~i : 4^ = 500, u =: 50, 
^ = 6, i.e. 500 + 50 + 6 = 556 ; or C 1 L^ of Eijra,

OF COIIS. 

Until comparatively modern times no otter denominations were 
put upon Musalman coins than jLjJ, dinar, on gold; *J>jJ, 
dirham, on silver ; and ^Jj , f als, on copper. Exceptions to this 
are the fractional pieces of the dinar noticed below. 

The ,L> J, or, as it was spelt in the oldest times and very rarely 
afterwards, jj J , was of good gold, weighing at the time of the 
first Khalifs about 66 grains, and being about -75 inch in diameter. 
later on the same denomination was used for gold coins of greater 
or less weight and size. The quality of the metal was almost 
always fine gold, exceptions being Turkish and Morocco coins, 
some of which were far from being so. Divisions of the dinar 
were but rarely noted in words, the legend being A^J Ijjb, 
this dinar, whether the coin was a whole, half, or quarter one; 
but sometimes they were in these terms: LjLaJ !jj&, this half, 
oJJ U~a>, this third, j-J^Jl IjJb, this fourth, without the 
word jbj J following. So they are called a nasf, a thilth, a ruba, 
in much the same way as we speak of a tiers or a cent. The 
value of a dinar is now so small in Persia that a copper piece of 
Nasir al-Din, A,H. 1290, of the size of a penny is marked .IjJ * 
and a smaller piece .UjJ f & . 

The J&,J is the general name for a silver coin, as the <L)J is 
of gold. It corresponds to the drachma, and when used as 
a weight should equal 48 grains. But silver coins having the 
name dirham on them vary much in weight and size, and although 
half and double dirhams are not uncommon, they are not so 
denoted in the legends they bear. The character of the metal 
varies very much ; some of almost all periods is of very poor 
quality. A plural form of the word is seen on a Morocco coin, 
, ten dirhams. On some coins of the Dehli king 



118 MUSALHAN XUMSMATICS. 

Muhammad b. Taghlak is the phrase ^j o ^j^\ >&jAJl , The 
dirham legal in the age. 

(joAi or (jwji-i is the ordinary name for the copper or, in a few 
cases, bronze coinage. The plural form .j-Jj is often used ia 
a general way as a falus.' 

Besides the above denominations several special ones must be 
mentioned. 

The nomenclature of the Turkish coinage is difficult to com- 
prehend ; the changes have been so many and various. The 
denominations are not, however, denoted upon the coins, so an 
account of them need not be given here ; but some have their 
value given ; thus, c^> and ,Jj with ciphers above them represent 
so many piastras or ghurush, and c > stands in the same way 
for paras. 

The coinage of Persia has much changed in nomenclature during 
the last 200 years, but none of the names are upon the coins 
except (Jy^ ? Ashrafi, and ^UJ on gold, and the jta^ already 
referred to on copper and on silver. The autonomous copper 
coins of Persia, too, are nearly all marked jj*>Jj The curious 
wire coins called Larin, from Lar, a Persian district at the head 
of the Persian Gulf, where they were produced, were between 200 
and 300 years ago the chief currency of the traffic between the 
Western India coast and that Gulf, so much so that they became 
a standard of value in the Konkan and Dekkan, and were made 
there also, the Adil Shah dynasty of Bijapur adopting the pattern. 
The coin is a piece of silver wire of the size of a crow-quill, and 
from five to six inches long, doubled on its middle, and struck at 
the folded part with a stamp on which was some Persian legend, 
but only three or four letters of the stamp are upon any Larin, and 
the legend has not been made out beyond - jjlkLa - J jlc - <y* 
and Ai. The source of issue of the Larin is not known, nor 
its origin. Probably it was found to be a convenient form of 
money for carrying about, as they could be so easily stuck into 
the folds of the turban or waist-cloth, and in that way too be

concealed in case of trouble in those piratical times and regions. 
About Ceylon they are often found bent up in the form of a hook, 
and are known in those parts as the fish-hook money/ 

Gold pieces of Khwarizm and of Afghanistan are called tilla ; 
the name, however, is not put upon the coins except in a part of 
the legend, as Ik ^ <U , in silver and gold. 

The words *L(~: and ^li , meaning coinage or currency, are 
very common upon the coins of India and the neighbouring 
countries, the former word especially so, and often in the phrase 
LjjU^ <^~; , auspicious coinage. 

In India the Husalman coinage began with adaptation of the 
Hindu currency it was to replace, as will be seen by the early 
coins of the Dehli kings who introduced the tankah, 4&J , as the 
standard in both silver and gold, of the weight of about 1 74 grains 
in each metal, and the kani ,<J^> "Ar of a tankah, and equal to 
four fals. These words are found, but rarely, on coins of this 
class. In the reign of Sher Shah, A.H. 946-952, came into use 
the silver rupee, *-Jjj, of 178 grains weight, which with little 
variety in weight has been the standard coin of India to this day, 
the gold piece being the^,^ , muhr, and the copper the ^J, dam. 
The Emperor Akbar, with his other reforms, instituted an elaborate 
coinage with great varieties of value and of shape, each variety 
having a special name, but as none of these names, except those 
of some of the copper, are found on the coins, they need not be 
mentioned here. The muhr and the rupee, however, remained 
the standard. On the copper coins of Akbar we find several 
denominations given, ifjti , ,jj ^' , and &j lJ , with their divisions, 
*.J half, d*2*- *i^->- fourth part, &^z>- ^lojuJb eighth part, and 
<Us>. *JbJJjU) sixteenth part, and their multiples * and j>- (in 
Hindustani) ; the (j^-*^ damri, the >\ J **j half-dam, and ,Jai 
also meaning a half -dam. On the copper coins of Akbar' s son 
Jahangir we find ^J^j rawani and *z\j raij, both words meaning 
current coin, and their half *.J , the former corresponding in weight 
with the tankah, the latter with one-eighth of a tankah.

The gold coin called ,bj nisar, was made for the purpose of 
distribution on tlie occasions of great festivals, such as State pro- 
cessions or at marriages, when they were scattered amongst the 
crowd. They are usually somewhat thinner than the coins of 
currency, and are marked with the word J^J . The custom of 
scattering coin on great occasions is still kept up in the East, but 
the pieces for the nisar are usually now only of very thin gold, 
little more than gold-leaf. Also there are the large handsome gold 
pieces of 200, 100, 50, and 10 muhrs of Akbar and his three 
successors, which were, no doubt, not for currency use exactly, 
but for presentation in the way of honour from the emperor or 
offered to the emperor or king, for tribute or acknowledgment of 
fealty, <jlj3u , nazarana as it is called. 

Under the East India Company the rupee remained the standard, 
and its fineness and weight were fixed. So it has been since. 
Gold muhrs of the value of at one time 16 and at others 15 rupees 
have been struck, with half, third, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth 
of muhr gold pieces, at Various dates, but the issue of a gold 
currency was only temporary. Some were made in imitation of 
the Dehli emperor's coinage, others have the arms of the Company 
and the legend .jl$ Jj> Jol i**^ L_J~"^ Ashrafi, or gold coin of 
the Honourable English Company. In 1835 and 1854 the lion and 
palm-tree muhr and double muhr, marked ,y-^ t ^i - lAr^^j 
were issued, and in 1870 a 10 rupee gold piece of Queen Yictoria. 

In silver, besides the rupee, there are its divisions i, i, and i, 
marked respectively &5l L^A& - &j]j\j^ . <Ul ^J. The copper 
money is the <ui ana, 16 to a rupee, the Uu-o paisa, 4 to an ana, 
and the ^b pai, 3 to the paisa. The ana is but a money of 
account, the copper coins being the <Gl *.J half-ana, the Uu-j or 
quarter ana, and the ^l> with its multiples \Jj\$>- and ^l> j<3. 

But in Southern India the Hindu system of currency, which had 
remained unchanged during the time of the Musalman power, con- 
tinued to be in use for a considerable period under the East India 
Company. In gold the ^yb hun, or pagoda, and double pagoda

1 fanam, 42 fanam = 1 pagoda or him. But owing to attempts 
made by orders to equalize the currencies of the Presidencies, the 
relative value of the coins became altered, and we have copper 
coins of Ifadras with a variety of legends stating their value, such 
as u^d ^*l J~r~ ^j this is forty kas; others of twenty, 
ten, five, two and a half, and two kas of a like character ; and 
others bearing their relative value, such as c^-.-\ ^/wAi * (jj s,

The Native States of India which owed allegiance to theltoghul 
emperor, usually coined silver in the name of the emperor, and 
copper of their own style, often of irregular shape and bearing 
a stamp of some figure or device without a legend. The common 
name for them was ' dub.' 

The coinage of the Native States of India is a difiicult but 
interesting subject. The legend on the silver is usually a part, 
sometimes but a small part, of the coin-legend of one of the later 
emperors, without date or mint place ; moreover, the die was 
generally a good deal longer than the coin to be struck, and con- 
sequently there is but a portion of this imperfect legend on any

one piece. There are almost always marks or symbols which, were 
intended to be indicative of the mint-place or State, and sometimes 
they are so, but too often the same symbols -were used at different 
times by more than one State, and a great number of the coins 
remain still unassigned. The money-changers and dealers in India 
know them generally by some nickname, but care and know little 
as to what State they are the coinage of, During the last twenty 
years or so the chiefs of many States hare adopted coinage of 
a modern pattern struck from dies made in England, usually 
bearing some figure as a characteristic mark ; thus, there is the 
horse's hoof and fetlock for Baroda and the sun-face for Indore. 

Tipu Sultan of ITaisur had a coinage of muhrs, rupees, and 
paisa or kas, but gave new names to them in the 5th year of his 
reign. These names appear on some of his coins, and are as 
follows : 



Gold. $&*JP-\ for muhr, ^^ for half muhr, and tJ^ 
for pagoda. 

Silver. o t^t-^- ^ or double rupee, .^^ for rupee, ^Jolc for

Xutch and Kathiawar have a special currency, the standard for 
which is a small silver coin called a kori. The denominations 
are: Copper: *U*J!y tranbiya ; <d^J dokda = 2 tranbiya. 
Silver : $j kori = 24 dokda. The word is dokta on the coins, 
but is really dokda. 

On coinage of the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago we find 
some other denominations. Native States have the \j** mas, 
in gold, the 4JL kapang, the ^J kas, and the (jwAi falus, in 
copper. A ducat of the Dutch East India Company, written in 
Malay <j^Ju! 15^^ an< ^ U"*:.^J ,AJu, and of the Netherlands 
Government, is called f^o dirham, a duit o:^, and a rupee 
<U^ , with divisions of the rupee of J, -Ar, T-OO, and TO-Q in Malay 
(see p. 6). 

A Java rupee of the English East India Company is marked

Marlborough rupee is called *** LJ (J^* ?V > moiie y f 
Company two soko, and there are also 4Jo and multiples of

A soko corresponds to a quarter dollar. A kapang is a small 
copper coin of which 400 equal a Spanish dollar. 

The small currency of these parts was, and still is, made of tin, 
or of pewter largely composed of that metal, which is the 
commonest one there, the tin-mines of the Peninsula and neigh- 
bouring islands being the source of supply of it in the East. The 
Portuguese made every endeavour, early in their traffic with 
Sumatra and the Peninsula, to get the trade and to control the 



124 3IUSAL1IAN NUMISMATICS. 

mines, and the Dutch. were not slow in doing the same in the 
islands where their possessions and influence lay. Following on 
this the Portuguese Oovernraent in the sixteenth century made 
pewter, or tiitenag coins for currency in "Western India, and as 
it became recognized and acceptable for trade, the English 
Government made tiitenag coins early in the eighteenth century 
for use in the same parts of India, in very close imitation of the 
Portuguese coinage. There are also some rare coins in this metal 
struck in the name of the Dehli emperor Shah Jahan, made 
probably at Surat. 

Another denomination is to be found on a coin of Zanzibar, 
viz. Jls real. 

On some coins of Dehli and Bengal kings, instead of the 
denomination the word t^i&\ the silver (coin), is used.

The usual legend about the striking of a Musalman coin is 
[^^] jlijjJl 1 JkJb ijjts <LLH >**o In the name of God this dinar 
(or dirham) was struck, followed by the name of the mint place 
and the date. Instead of the word c^.^ on some ]\Iurabit coins 
is (-J+2* *+\ ? ordered to be struck ; on some Dehli and Gujarat 
coins, L-jyaJljlj, place of the striking ; on other Gujarat ones,

place of striking. On some I^asrid pieces ^J? , struck, and on 
some of the Norman kings of Sicily J^c , made, are used instead 
of c-jys. 

The following phrases are used with reference to the time of the 
striking :

The mint name had the preposition L-? , in, attached to it on 

the older coins, but not often on the later ones ; for instance, 

k-il^ in the time of the early Ehalifs and k*jU in that of the 

Mongols of Persia. The article Jl , the, is prefixed to some 

names and not to others, and a few mint names are sometimes

written with and sometimes without it, and that too even at about 
the same date. 

Before or after the mint name there is often a word or two 
meaning place, city, port, etc , l* : \*\s ~ SjJj ~jjcj, or expressive 

of quality, title, or condition, as < >,Lw&Jt the blessed, <jwJJL*

holy, ifjuJusil the new; or both, such as dJjaJLsr* 4jLJJt~ the 
guarded city, <L*--J2 JjJj the good city, u->L^ \^ the blessed 
port. These are called the titles of mint towns, and a list of 
them follows that of the mints, showing the places to which the 
title is given in each case. 

The List of Mint Towns has been compiled from the one in 
Soret's " Xumismatique ITusalrnane," with the addition of such 
other places as have been found in numismatic writings since that 
book was published. For the- purpose of greater accuracy as to 
the geographical position of the towns such general descriptions 
as "in Irak Arabi," in Khurasan," not being satisfactory the 
latitude and longitude are given when they have been ascertained. 

Some names have not been located, although they are mentioned 
in Yakut's ' Mu jam al-Buldan"; in such cases a few words of 
description by that author are quoted. A few more yet remain 
uncertain : some of them probably have disappeared or sunk into 
insignificance ; others may have been new names given to places 
on their capture by a Musalman king, but since forgotten ; and 
others are most likely misreadings. "When the mint name has 
been noticed by only one writer his name is added, in brackets, as 
the authority for including it in the list ; all the other mint names 
have been given by more than one writer. The class of coin upon 
which the mint name is found follows the geographical description, 
and then the title or titles of the town, which are given as prefix 
or suffix according to whether they precede or follow the name. 

The spelling of the names is not, as will be seen, always the same ; 
Arzerum is an instance of this : **^ \\j\ - **)jj\ - /*/ ijl - (V/^ ' 
Misreadings may account for this sometimes, but there are mis- 
spellings and variations in spelling some of the names on the coins.

ERAS. 

The dates on llutammadan coins are, as a rule, given according 
to the Hijra Era, but otter eras are also used. 

Hijra. 

The era dates from the flight o! the Prophet Muhammad from 
Mecca to Medina, which took place on the 15th July, 622 A.D. 
The first day of it corresponds with the 16th July of that year. 
This era is a purely lunar one of 12 lunations, and to make 
it accord as nearly as possible with the moon's motion a day 
is intercalated at the end of 11 of the years in a cycle of 30: 
thus the mean length of the year is 354-J--J- days. The following 
is a very simple rule of thumb ' by Dr. James Burgess for con- 
verting dates of the Hijra to the Christian (Julian) : From Hijra 
date deduct 3 per cent, and add 622 for the date A.D." As each 
year is shorter than a Christian year it begins earlier in the 
season than the preceding one. The following Table shows the day 
of the month of the Christian year upon which each Hijra year 
begins up to 1325 A.H. It is usual to give as the corresponding 
year that one in which the greater part of the Hijra year is 
included; for instance, A.H. 700 began on the 16th September, 
1300, and ended on the 5th September, 1301, that is, 3-J- months 
in 1300 and 8-J months in 1301. The latter A.D. year therefore 
is the corresponding one, unless, of course, one of the early months 
of the Hijra year is in question. Dr. Forbes gives this rule for 
working out the corresponding date : " Express the Huhammadan 
date in years and decimals of years; multiply by -970225; to 
the product add 621*54, and the sum will be the precise period 
of the Christian Era. 5 ' Another rule is that given by Soret : 
"Date of Hijra multiplied by 97, to the product add 621-84, 
separating by a decimal point the last two ciphers of the product.'* 



2G4 MUSALMAX NUMISMATICS. 

Example: 1st day of 700 A.H. 700 X 97 = 67900. 67900 + 
621-84 = 1300-84, that Is, 1300 and -84 of the year, which 
corresponds with the middle of September. 

Commonly there Is no indication on the coins of the date being 
the Hiira one, but It is occasionally so stated, as i's-k . J^stfl* 

A i ' _j . / . 

S^^r 5 u^-: - ^\ i.js^ . , ^jj LJS-^ . On two coins of Mongols 
of Persia, which bear also the Khanian date, the word <ui3j& , lunar, 
is added to distinguish the date in that way from the Khanian, 
which was a solar era. 

Tipu Sultan, of Maisur, In the year 1201 A.H., i.e. the fifth 
year of his reign, instituted a new era for use In his kingdom, 
dating from the birth of Muhammad J*ks"* ^jcJ&u/*, instead of from 
the year of the flight. The years were Luni- Solar. The date of 
the birth of the Prophet Is generally given as 570 A.D., but it is 
not certain whether Tipu counted from that time or about a year 
later, as was held by some to be correct. On a coin of the fourth 
year of his reign the date is given If" ^*<s^ tU^ , and on one 
of the fifth year of his reign the date is written & 1 f i , that is, 
1215 of the new era and in the new way of arranging the ciphers 
(see p. 7). The difference of but 14 years between the dates 
according to the two eras, although the period between the birth 
and the flight of the Prophet was some 52 years, is to be accounted 
for by the Miiludi years being longer, luni-solar, than the Hijra, 
lunar, ones. 

Khanian. 

The Khanian Era was established by Ilkhan Ghazan Mahmud 
on 1st Bajab, A.H. 701, but it is not found upon coins until the 
time of his nephew, Abu Said, some 33 years later, and on 
the coins of one or two of Abu's successors. The era was a solar 
one, and is written <Ljl^M . There is no difficulty in computing 
the corresponding year in the Hijra and Christian Eras, for the 
year 1 of Khanian is 701 A,H. and 1301 A.D. 



ERAS. 205 

Christian, 

Bates in the Christian Era are found on coins of Native States 
of India, E.I. Company, and Straits Settlements, also on some 
Christian Syrian coins in Arabic characters. It is usually indicated 
z &* or (jy+z only, but on one of the Syrian it is put 



as siU*4Jl tXlrsrUSI <&*i , rear of the Incarnation of the Messiah. 
C 

IlaM, 

The Tarikh Ilahi was established by the Emperor Akbar in 
the 30th year of his reign (A.H. 992), and began with his reign 
on 5th Eabi al-Sani, A.E. 963, or 19th February, 1556 A.D. 
The months and clays are Solar, without any intercalations. 
The names of the months and days are the same as the old 
Persian ones. The months have from 29 to 30 days ; there are 
no weeks, but each day of the month is distinguished by a 
different name. 

The era was used by Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan, often 
together with the Hijra date. It is written on the coins ^\. 

Samvat 

The Samvat or Era of Yikramaditya began at B.C. 57. It is 
luni-solar with intercalation. To convert Samvat into Christian 
years it is necessary only to subtract 57 from the elate. The 
era is used on coins of some of the Native States of India, 
generally, when the legend is in the Arabic character, with the 
Hijra date also. It is written '^^^^ . 

The Spanish, 

The Spanish, called also the Era of the Caesars, is reckoned 
from 1st January, B.C. 38, being the year following the conquest 
of Spain by Augustus. It is found on a bilingual coin of 
Alphonse VIII of Spain, and there called 



206 MUSALITA^ NUMISMATICS. 



CYCLE YEARS, 

Sultan Tipu, of llysore, in the first or second year of Ms 
reign, adopted, in addition to the Hijra dates, the Hindu cycle 
of sixty years, each distinguished by a particular name, which 
was in use in his dominions and known as the Tamil Brihaspate 
Cycle. But instead of the original names of the respective years, 
he gave them new ones made up of letters which by the Abjad 
system would denote the number of the year in the cycle. The 
second year of Tipu's reign, A.D. 1783-84, was the 38th of the 
current cycle, which began in A.D. 1747. That year he named 
J;l (1 + 7 + 30), the next year JLSJ- (3 + 30 + 6), and the 
next j!j (4 + 30 + 6), and these three names preceded by 
the word JL year are found upon coins of the Sultan of the 
2nd, 3rd, and 4th years of his reign, and dated I ! Q i A , 1 M ^ , If** 
Hijra respectively. "When, however, in the 5th year of his reign 
Tipu altered his era from the Hijra to the Muludi (see p. 204), 
and replaced the Abjad system by the Abtas (see p. 116), he 
gave other names to the years which would indicate the number 
of the year in the cycle according to the latter system, and these 
we find on his coins from his fifth regnal year, such as li (40 + 1), 
IjL (30 + 1 + 10+1), etc. 

The names ju^l and Ju/K.=*.l were given arbitrarily, in both 
systems, to the first and second years, because no words sufficiently 
short could be assigned to them to express one ' and two.'

Ordinarily the date of striking of the coin is preceded by thc- 
word 4i! year, sometimes *U~j in the year, but there are some- 
variations from this. Some Samanid coins have <La**. of the year, 
some Dehli and others i-s^ i^-s , Turkistan --^ ^-s^ ^ o~* 
year in the Hijra of the Prophet, Bhopal , C -;AJ i^c-s* tf-i-s year

year, is used ; on some others the name of the month of issue 
is stated, -2-i <Ji in the month, followed by the name of the month 
of the Hijra year. "When the Ilahi year is given on the coins 
of Akbar and his successors the month of the old Persian calendar 
is employed with the Persian word *U month, as ^jLI iU ,d\, 
Ilahi month A~ban. Yery rarely the day of the month is added 
by a cipher, or in words as in the following legend on a coin of 
a Governor of Bengal, !L~tjS>$\ ^jl\ ^ ^ ^JL*!t *^J^\ <J>

Tipu Sultan, on giving to the cycle years new names, which 
should denote the numerical order in which they stand in the 
cycle (see p. 206), treated the months of which the year consists 
in a similar way, but instead of the whole name being taken to 
express the number in Abjad the initial letter only was made 
to do so. Afterwards, with the change from the Abjad to the 
Abtas, it was again necessary to alter the names to suit the latter 
system. Only one or two of the months have been noted as 
being on Tipu's coins, but more may be found, and therefore 
the names are here given.

The numbers of the llth and 12th month are made by using 
the first two letters of the name, and in the Abjad the letters 
\ (1) and c-> (2) are on the right of the letter ^ (10), as is 
usual in writing in ciphers the numbers ! i and I f , whilst in the 
Abtas the units \ and t-j are on the left of the decimal j , that is, 
in the order in which the ciphers were placed, 1 1 and f I , in 
Tipu Sultan's system (see p. 7).

REGIAL YEARS, 

The year of tlie reign of the ruler is also usually noted on 
the coins of the Moghul emperors of Dehli, Afghanistan, Native 
States of India, Otlirnanli, and some other series of modern times, 
"but not on the old Arabic. 

It is, as a rule, on the other face of the coin to that on which 
the date is, and in ciphers, except for the first year, which is 
often written ^=>-l . (jw*l>- , accession or enthronement, is the 
word used to express regnal year, with or without !L~s before it. 
The phrase ^JL* c^-^.^ ^^>- ^> ' m the Y ear oi " ^is 
reign of tranquil prosperity, adopted for Aurangzih, has been 
a favourite one ever since in the East. 

The regnal year is of the same length as the Hijra lunar one, 
and consequently, beginning each year on the enthronement 
anniversary, does not change its number on the same day as the 
latter does, unless, of course, the enthronement was on 1st of 
lluharram, and so apparent discrepancies occur; for instance, 
Jahangir was proclaimed Emperor in Jumacla, 1014; one half, 
therefore, of his issue of the regnal year 1 was in 1014 and 
one half in 1015. But there are many real discrepancies owing 
to carelessness of the mint masters or die engravers. In the 
time of Jahangir and Shah Jahan, when the solar year of Akbar's 
Ilahi Era was being again replaced by the Hijra, there was some 
confusion, and mistakes were made. The E.I. Company in 1793, 
in trying to establish a standard currency, ordered that all the 
rupees coined for Bengal should for the future bear the impression 
of the rupee of the 19th year of Shah Alam's reign; thus, the 
1 \ L^i was retained on the obverse of the Sicca or 19 San rupee 
of Murshidabad, whatever the Hijra year might be on the reverse, 



REGNAL YEARS. 211 

until 1835. In a similar way i~"! te~a was put on the E.I.C. 
Farukhabad and Surat coins of the Shah Alam pattern, irrespective 
of the date of issue, from 1805 to 1835. 

On some coins of Indian Native States, of the pattern of the 
Shah Alam rupee, is a (j*>- J ear cipher which is not that of 
the Dehli Emperor, but that of the Eajah of the State, although 
his name is not given upon the piece. 

On the Othmanli coinage since the beginning of the reign 
of Abel al-Haraid, A.H. -1187, only the date of the year of the 
Sultan's accession is given throughout the reign, with a cipher, 
usually above the area of the reverse, indicating the regnal year. 
It is necessary, therefore, to add the number of the regnal year 
to the date in order to arrive at the year in which any piece was 
struck; e.g., all the coins of Mahmud II bear the Hijra date 1223, 
although he reigned 32 years, and some of them were struck as 
iate as 1254, as is shown by their bearing the regnal year 32.
