This volume contains a catalogue of the coins of the Mughal Emperors, or as they styled themselves on their coins Badshahs, of India from the time of Babar (A. H. 982 = A. D. 1526) to the deposition of Bahadur II by the English (A. H. 1274 =A. D. 1858). In the period of its greatest prosperity the empire of the Mughals extended from Kabul in the North (not to mention Balkh, of which a coin of Shahjahan bears witness to the temporary possession) to Tanjore in the South, from Tatta and Junagarh to the seaport town of Chittagong.
