Gold
Sultans of Delhi, Khaljis, Ala al-Din Muhammad Shah (1296-1316 AD), gold Asu or Gadyana (Pagoda), no Mint, not in G&G, 3.66g. Obv: Arabic legend 'Ala al-Dunyawa al-Din. Rev: Arabic legend Sikandar al-Thani.
Extremely Fine, Unique So Far.
Alauddin Muhammad is famously known as the conqueror of the Yadavas of Devagiri to usher in a wave of Islamic conquests in Southern half of India. His first attack on Devagiri happened soon before his accession as the Sultan, which reduced the Yadavas as a vassal state. The Sultan's armies subsequently vanquished the Kakatiyas, the Hoysalas and the Pandyas. The earliest coins struck in his name at Devagiri (Deogir) Mint are towards the end of his reign, after King Ramachandra Yadava died in c. 1315. This coin bears no date, but it has the same title that Alauddin held on his other coins - 'The Second Alexander'. It is struck to the Yadava standard of an 'Asu' and as such is potentially the earliest Islaimic coin in the Deccan.

G&G mention that the coin listed by them has 'a different, undetermined Kunya' for the king, instead of the usual Abu al-Muzaffar. On this coin, it is clearly seen to be Abu al-Harith ('Father of the lion'). Also, G&G make no mention of a dated coin in this type, whereas on this coin, the date is present and can be restructured to read 616.
