I have seen the following base-16 counting system in Bengali books, usually as the numbering of the prefatory matter.  I've never seen any secondary-source discussion of this.  One place to check might be Ifrah's Universal History of Numbers;  Ifrah is wonderful in many ways, but is to be used with caution in academic contexts.

Dear list,

I have attached what appears to be a price tag at the bottom of a gyān bāzī chart printed in Mumbai in 1894 CE. If anyone knows how to read it, I would be most grateful.

Best,
Jacob
