Although "ij" is a Dutch thing, and is pronounced like a "y" or "i" - as in Rijn (Rhine, the river that ends up in the North Sea), the viij is actually a Roman 8 - VIII. I think the "j" was just a flourish.

How about that? I learned something new today! Cool.

I have an old mantle clock bought in Germany in 1965. Stopped working and it costs a small fortune to get it repaired now. Too bad you live "over there." LOL!
