I came across this rather unusual date plate on Blackfriars Street in Glasgow today. I'm presuming the date is 1899, but the mirror symmetry in the numbers is not something I've come across before.

I love the font and the layout on this date plate from one of the lodges at the entrance to the Glasgow. Botanic Gardens on Great Western Road. The lodges were designed by A.B. McDonald and were built in 1894. The complimentary curves on the D and the 4 are particularly satisfying.
