Today MCCXCII may appear on clocks, monuments, or architectural details that preserve traditional numeral styling. It is also encountered in academic or cultural works that employ Roman numerals for dating or labeling chapters and events.

As a year, 1292 falls in the late medieval period. In the Julian calendar, it would have been a leap year (divisible by 4). The use of Roman numerals for years persisted in many regions for ceremonial or stylistic purposes, even after the widespread adoption of Arabic numerals in commerce and administration.
