B. Silver Coins.

1. The Rupee is round, and weighs eleven and one half máshahs. It was first introduced in the time of Shér Khán. It was perfected during this reign, and received a new stamp, on one side “Alláhu akbar, jalla jaláluhu,” and on the other the date. Although the market price is sometimes more or less than forty dáms, yet this value is always set upon it in the payment of salaries.

2. The Jalálah is of a square form, which was introduced during the present reign. In value and stamp it is the same as No. 1.

3. The Darb is half a Jalálah.

4. The Charn is a quarter Jalálah.

5. The Pandau is a fifth of the Jalálah.

6. The Asht is the eighth part of the Jalálah.

7. The Dasá is one-tenth of the Jalálah.

8. The Kalá is the sixteenth part of the Jalálah.

9. The Súkí is one-twentieth of the Jalálah.

The same fractional parts are adopted for the [round] Rupee, which are however different in form.
