Information on Sāsānian numismatics has been published in journals of various societies across Europe, especially in France, Germany and Russia, but is not available in the form of books. Sāsānian numismatics has been under-represented in the English literature on coins. This has posed a serious challenge for those who have acquired Sāsānian-era coins as well as those who seek them, as they do not have a source of reference to turn to for guidance and assistance. This is because despite the importance of this subject, no effort has been made to publish a comprehensive and collected account of Sāsānid coinage, and the information that is available is largely scattered. Author Furdoonjee D.J. Paruckhas has thus, attempted to fill this void through his work with the objective that an updated, connected and reliable account would be welcomed by both numismatists and those interested in the ancient history of Persia. The facts and figures presented in this book are the product of several years of extensive research that saw patient enquiry, careful collation and validation. Besides the Bartholomaei collection, photographic reproductions of coins, and facsimiles of the inscriptions on coins, Paruck has provided a list of monarchs; genealogical tree of the Sāsānian dynasty; Sāsānid mint-monograms; Sāsānian numismatics; denominations and weight; a glossary of names and words used on coins, etc.
