A hoard of silver coins of the late Mughals was reported in 2002 from the tribal area Arakhel Payan, some 30km northeast of the Kohat city. Lying in a terracotta pot, it was accidentally dug out by some boys from the nearby fields. Mr Gul Muhammad, inhabitant of the same village, told about this discovery and also helped the author to see the collection and photograph some selected coins for study. For this the author is grateful to him as well as the owners. I also thank KK Maheshwari, IIRNS at Nasik in India, who provided me useful literature on the Mughal coinage. The hoard contained 53 silver coins of the following late Mughal Emperors and one of Ahmad Shah Durrani . . . .
