The language on the first side, depending on when it was made, could be Farsi (if the coin is old) or Urdu (if it's fairly young).
The letters in the center of the coin look like درش but my Arabic-English dictionary (Hans Wehr) doesn't recognize that as a valid three-letter word. I could, of course, be wrong about my guess of the letters.
I can tell you that the "٠٠٥" translates to "005", which would be "500" if this language writes numbers right-to-left (unlike Arabic, which writes them left-to-right... unlike everything else in the language.)
You did. I can't tell you what it means but the letters are in the correct direction. I don't know enough about the language to say whether the numbers are to be read as 005 or 500.
btw, changing your default icon to something less -- would probably get you an answer from someone who actually knows enough to give you the answer you're looking for. I don't know if you're aware but it's a bit out of place.
Please use a different icon in communities outside of sexy men related. Not that the view isn't enjoyable... it's just very distracting. (And slightly offensive, even to me)
This is an Indian coin. I cannot read it, but the front writing is in Urdu, and the back almost certainly in Hindi; at any rate, it is devanagari. Oh, and if you want to offend people and fail to make friends, do keep your unattractive icon. Had it been less unpleasant, I would have made more of an effort.

Arabic script is read right-to-left. In Arabic, the numbers are read left-to-right. On this coin, I guess that the numbers are read right-to-left.
You scanned in the right direction.

Shaah = king
Ghaazi = conqueror
dar = door? gate?
Shaah (again)

As folks above have said, it seems readable as Persian or Urdu.
