Thurston, E: Coins -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Coins: Catalogue No. 1, Mysore, With Eleven Plates

IN issuing the present catalogue, I have to gratefully acknow ledge the assistance which I received, in writing the Intro duction, from Mr. Lewis Rice's Mysore Gazetteer and Colonel H. P. Hawkes' Coins of Mysore, of which the latter, published in 1856, is -now very scarce. From both these sources I have, in many cases, copied extracts verbatim.

To Captain R. H. Campbell Tufnell, I am indebted for the pains and trouble which he took in correcting and revising the proof sheets, and for comparing the inscriptions in the text with those on the coins.

The frontispiece represents in the centre the obverse of the medal struck in commemoration of the taking of Seringa patam in 1799, and above and below, the silver medals struck for services in Mysore in 1791-2.
