The introduction discusses for each ruler the background, the terms of the coin issues based on surviving mint documents, the numismatic classification, and the modern literature. The meticulous catalogue of the 890 coins gives full transcriptions of the legends and details of the classification and die-linking of each coin. Every piece is illustrated on the 83 plates making the Sylloge a useful tool for identification and further study.
