When coins are dated using another calendar than Gregorian + having non-English mint marks, they get messed up somehow

see here for example:


even worse here:
mintage is 2,929 and overlapping the mint mark, resulting in a weird symbol

That's mostly because Hebrew is written from right to left (like Arabic), and when you mix with numbers the text usually starts to jump around.
