'Facsimiles of three Muhammedan Gold Coins, found on the Coast of Malabar with some remarks upon them'. The three coins described were thrown up during a heavy gale on the beach at the mouth of the Balliaputtan river, five miles from Cananow on the Coast of Malabar in 1818. One of them is dated AH301 and appears to have been struck at the mint of Constantine near Cordova, the Capital of a province of the same name in Andalusia, under the reign of Abdurrahman the third. The other two are dated AH407 and bear the name of Abd ul Hussein Ali. The coins were presented to the Madras Literary Society by Thomas Hervey Baber. There are a number of papers with the facsimiles. These are:

• Letter from Thomas Hervey Baber to Mr Anderson, Acting Secretary of the Madras Literary Society, dated 25 November 1818.
• A list of the Moorish Kings of Andalusia.
• A list of Khalifs. An extract from the Arabic Dictionary entitled 'Kamood'.
• Facsimiles of the coins.
• A letter from J. Stokes containing remarks on the coins.
• Facsimiles of the coins with Malayalam translations of the inscriptions.

• A letter from Mr Anderson acknowledging receipt of the coins.

  All these items and their descriptions are listed in the handwritten Catalogue of English Manuscripts in the Royal Asiatic Society . However there is also further material within the file:

• Facsimiles of the coins with English translations of the inscriptions
• A list of the names of the Princes of the Dynasty of a Fatimites
  *. Original label identifying their listing in the Catalogue of English Manuscripts.
