Welcome to CCF coinSupplement !And well done Palouche!!
Your inference is correct. It is a copper "pika" coin of Jalal ud din Firoz alias Jalal ud din Khilji. (D 202 of Goron & Goenka).
Your coin looks like having a silver colour in the pic. It is either a photographic artifact or someone must have coated it silver. If it is really billon, it seems unlisted in G&G!!
The obverse is the second image. It reads "Jalal ud dunya wa al din" in Persian script. Obverse reads "as sultan al azam" enclosed in a linear inner and a dotted outer circles.
It is worth noting one peculiarity of "sultan". The part "su" of the legend is shortened to a short horizontal line between the two "lam"s. This is a peculiarity that often was the practice in Delhi issues. This is a very important sign that we can use to differentiate Delhi issues mainly from very similar issues of Madurai sultanate.

Some of these coins have been re-attributed. Here is one.  This has been now attributed to the Ghaznavi sultan, Muiz ud daula Khusru Shah G&G GZ#056. I have kept the coin ID number the same so that the original post can be well understood. Thank you.  Please see this link http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/in...tml#msg93113Edited by drnsreedhar

Here is another one that had to be re-attributed. Rajgor Type 872, NWright 170 was classified as Sultana Razia coin previously.  This one has now been re-attributed to Yamin ud daula Bahram shah, the Ghaznavid sultan as GZ50 of G&G.  Edited by drnsreedhar

Dear Amit Kher, That part of the legend reads "azam". Letters used to be written in different ways in Persian script those days. A typical example is "He" written a downward spike, rightward spike and with double loops. Letters normally had three form, initial one, middle one and an ending form. Apart from that, some letters like "za" and "ta" shared some calligraphic commonness. If you search internet, you can find different forms of these letters. The "Te" like form with a dot above is used for "za" on this type of coin. Innumerable mint varieties exist for Ala uddin Muhammad shah Khilji's coins. These varieties are only mint variants. I have so far not come across any literature attaching significance to these variations, but could be from the different mints like Delhi, Dar ul Isalam and Deogir all situated in and around Delhi. You may find the following link useful to understand this better. https://persianlanguageonline.com/a...dded%20above. Edited by drnsreedhar
