XVII. NOTES ON SOME INEDITED COINS OF THE DYNASTY OF THE KHALIFAHS OF BANI UMEYA. IN the very comprehensive work of M. Tiesenhausen, printed in St. Petersburgh in 1873, on the Coins of the Eastern Khalifahs, the author recapitulated all the coins of those dynasties that had then been published. His list comprises specimen dînârs of every year from A.H. 76 to A.H. 132 inclusive, excepting the years 82, 85, 87, 102, 105, 107, 125, 129 and 132. Mr. Stanley L. Poole has lately contributed notices of dînârs bearing dates 82, 102, and 105, from the rich collection of Colonel C. S. Guthrie. Recent additions to my collection now enable me to fill in the remaining dînârs of this dynasty. Indeed, my collection contains a dînâr of every year of the series with the exception of 76, 110, and 127. In order to prove that the Khalifahs of the race of Bani Umeya struck dînârs in every year from 76 to 132 inclusive, I will lay before your readers the dates of those hitherto unpublished, and thus complete the entire list. N 85. Diacritical point over the . خمس of خ of N 107. Diacritical points under the s of . N 125. No points whatever. and under the N 129. No points whatever. A 152. No points whatever. The dînârs of the last few years of this dynasty show a tendency to that peculiar style of character most strongly developed at a later period under the Aghlabite dynasty : I mean that style in which the letters are formed of dots or knobs and of lines joining them. The dînâr of the year 132 shows this peculiarity more than those of the immediately preceding years. Again, taking M. Tiesenhausen's work, supplemented by Colonel C. S. Guthrie's collection, as my authority for the edited coins of this dynasty, I find that I can place before your readers nine hitherto unpublished dirhams. .Bihkubar al Asfal به قباذ الاسفل 90 This town is the last of three mentioned by the author of Marasid al Ittila'a, viz.

DISCOVERY OF STERLINGS IN AYR.-Some few months ago, while taking down an old house in Newmarket Street, Ayr, the workmen discovered an earthenware jar containing several hundreds of silver sterlings. The jar was deposited in an excavation in a large stone, and was found about six feet below the foundation of the house. The coins were chiefly of the reigns of Edward I. and II., with a few Scottish pennies of the long cross type of Alexander and some of Robert I. and John Baliol. Most of the coins were dispersed before any note was taken of the discovery, but the number must have been very considerable. The following lot, acquired at the time on the spot, probably gives some idea of the various mints noticed. 113 London pennies, Edward I. or II. 28 Canterbury 12 Bristol |
