Info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ala_ud_din_Khilji

Billon 6 Gani, 704 or 714 AH (Ref. R991, Goron D232, Tye 418.1)

Obverse Al-sultan Al-Azim 'Ala Al-Dunya Wa Al-Deen (The Sultan, the greatest one, excellence of the world and of the faith)
Delhi-Sultanate,-Khiljis:-‘ala'-Al-Din-Muhammad,-6-Gani

Here is a crude illustration depicting my take on the legend.
Delhi-Sultanate,-Khiljis:-‘ala'-Al-Din-Muhammad,-6-Gani

Reverse Abu Al-Muzaffar Muhammad Shah Al-Sultan (Father of the victorious*, Muhammad Shah, the Sultan)
*This is the literal translation. The meaning is best expressed as "The Supreme Conqueror".
Delhi-Sultanate,-Khiljis:-‘ala'-Al-Din-Muhammad,-6-Gani
Delhi-Sultanate,-Khiljis:-‘ala'-Al-Din-Muhammad,-6-Gani

Break-up of the inscription:
Obverse
Delhi-Sultanate,-Khiljis:-‘ala'-Al-Din-Muhammad,-6-Gani
First line: Alif+Lam=Al
Sin (medial) (invisible on these coins!)+Lam+Toe+Alif+Nun (detached form)=Sultan
Alif+Lam=Al
Second line: 'Ain (initial form)+Zoe+Mim=Azim
'Ain (initial form)+Lam+Alif='Ala
Alif+Lam=Al
Da (of Dunya)
Third line: Nun+Ye (medial form)=Dunya
Waw=Wa
Alif+Lam=Al
Da+Ye+Nun=Deen

Reverse
Delhi-Sultanate,-Khiljis:-‘ala'-Al-Din-Muhammad,-6-Gani

First line: Ain+Be+Waw=Abu
Alif+Lam=Al
Mim+Zoe+Fe+Ra=Muzaffar
Second line: Mim+Ha+Mim+Da=Muhammad
Shin (initial form)+Alif+He (detached form)=Shah
Third line: Alif+Lam=Al
Sin (medial) (invisible on these coins!)+Lam+Toe+Alif+Nun (detached form)=Sultan
