Is rUpyA/rupayyA -  aNA/aNE -  paise system discussed?

1 rUpyA/rupayyA  = 16 aNaas/ aNE

1 aNA = 6 paise.

Also better than Ifrah is Stephen Chrisomalis, Numerical Notation: A Comparative History (Cambridge 2010).

Dear Jacob and Dominik,

There is a better source than Ifrah, it is Geneviève Guitel, Histoire comparée des numérations écrites, Flammarion, Paris, 1975. On p.623, she presents, refering to Filliozat, exactly the same table as below with the title Ecriture des nombres de 1 à 32 dans la numération de la roupie. Then, until p.628, she explains it and compare to other numeration systems. May I ask you a copy of the original document Jacob has apparently joined ? I am also interested by the gyan bazi.

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
