I saw this Hemingray 12.or CD 113 and was wondering about the embossing of numbers. What would these be classified as? I had not every seen any embossing like it.

Copied from hemingray.info..
“Prismatic Style (c.1895 - c.1901),
Also referred to some collectors as Prism or Prismic, this embossing style has a sharp, chiseled look to it. The number "2" usually has a distinctive "looped 2", although a "wedge 2" also exists.

Known CDs with this embossing style: 106, 113, 116, 121, 124, 133, 134, 145, 160, 162, 164, 178, 190/191, 196, 201, 280, 281, 282
