ClassNG. Ala al-Din Muhammad Shah (1296-1316 AD), gold Asu or Gadyana (Pagoda), no Mint, not in G&G (224A), 3.66g. Obv: Arabic legend 'Ala al-Dunyawa al-Din. Rev: Arabic legend Sikandar al-Thani.

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.
