MMCCCLXXV
MMCCCLXXV is the classical Roman numeral notation for the integer 1775. The numeral is constructed from the additive symbols M (1000), C (100), L (50), X (10), and V (5). In this particular form the characters are arranged in descending order of value, as was customary in early Roman inscriptional practice, with no use of subtractive notation.
