Rarity ratings are explained on Page 9, Para 6.
Different systems were used for different ages taken from the then available
reference works.
In general, the higher the number the more common the coin is.
Medieval coins (1-894): R1-5 are for the rare and plain numbers 1-14 for the
common types (taken from E. Unger's Hungarian Coin Identifier; now a newer
edition is also available from the Hungarian Coin Collectors' Association,
Budapest).
Gold coins thereof: I-XXV (after Artur Pohl's Goldgulden des Mittelalters).
Modern coins: 1-25 (as in G. Schon's Weltmunzkatalog 19th and 20th c.).
I hope this can help.
