I cannot tell what number this is. It looks like a 64 but https://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/dieno.html does not list it.

My guess would be "61". The horizontal stroke looks a bit too bent for it to be a deliberate cross-stroke. I'd have to guess a fortuitously-placed die chip making it look like a 4.

first digit looks like a 4 beneath you see the same slanted foot as the 4 next to it whats on top of it is anyone's guess second digit 100% a 4 that's been repunched. Incidentally there is no die 64 listed for 1872 shilling only 34 54 and 84

I think the only way to tell would be to compare it with other coins with known die numbers. There is every possibility that it could be a previously unrecorded number: British collectors took little interest in them until relatively recently and there must be lots of Victorian coins around with unrecorded die numbers.
