Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Coins and Chronology of the Early Independent Sultans of Bengal
The report asked for by the Collector of Dacca necessitated a detailed study of this unique find. With the progress of my investigations, I was more and more struck by the confusion that prevailed in the field of Bengal numismatics of this parti cular period even in standard works on the subiect; and also by the amount of correction and new information that this new find afforded. I was therefore in the end led to prepare the present monograph. After doing so, the idea occurred to me to submit it for the Griffith Memorial Prize of the Calcutta University. The President of the Dacca Museum Committee at that. Time was Mr. I. T. Rankin, I. C. S. And in spite of his multifarious duties as the Commissioner of the Dacca Divisionyhe very kindly made time, even in the midst of the Peace Celebrations of 1919, to revise the manuscript. It was subsequently awarded one of the five prizes given in 1920 out of the Griffith Memorial Fund.
