Excuse my ignorance

I'm just having a look through Freeman and wanted to query what the small numbers are next to the year date on some of the coins please? For example, the 1870 penny has a small 14 by the side of it. What have I missed?

Go to the end of the section, and you will find a list of notes, each identfied by number. The numbers shown here correlate with the number against the year date for the coin, and the note applies to that year and date of coin. For the 1870 Penny, the note identified by the number refers to the raised dot after 'PENNY.'

That's great. Thank you very much, saved a lot of head scratching. 👍
