Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Coins of the Patan Sultans of Hindustan
The history of Mohammedan nations is for many reasons peculiarly suitable for numismatic illustration not so much in reference to the artistic value of the coins them selves, as from the fact of their usually recording in full the name of the king, the date, and the place of coinage thus affording direct evidence to three distinct points, -the existence of the sovereign as such, the time in which he reigned, and the place of which he was king.
