Hi Jasper,
Not to forget, at the beginning of the 15th c. this sort of writing style of 4 can be found as well: 1407!!!
Also, note the representation of the first numeral 1 as m, based on the Latin word mille, in the obsolete Romanesque/High Gothic style, denoting the mixture of writings at the threshold to the 'modern' Late-Gothic period of the early 15th century!
Best,
Michael
