The Gani has been given the G&G. number BH126A, as the words 'Mahmud' and 'Muhammad' are transposed on the reverse. The sixth Gani has the legend "Mahmud Shah bin Muhammad Shah" but, unlike G&G. BH.151, the words 'Shah' and 'bin' are below 'Mahmud' on the obverse. Therefore it has been given the G&G. number BH.152. Ref. ONS Newsletter 172.
