2. Enquiries have been instituted by the Political agents
concerned in their areas, and the results of their investigations
may be summarised as follows:
Kuwait. Political Agent reports that spurious rupee coins
made in Basra, Amarah etc, by the Iraqi Subbalan silversmiths are
imported into Kuwait where they are either re-sold or exported to
India. There are no Subbaa in Kuwait and no coins are made locally.
The Political .Agent has been informed by the Kuwait Oil Company, who
handle large sums monthly, that the number of spurious coins appears
to be diminishing and may now be estimated at l/2fi of coins in
circulation. Five spurious coins from Kuwait are enclosed.
