Morton, they didn't add a crossbar to that style of five and I have NEVER seen one with a sharp hook like that, especially on two of the corners. I've looked at thousands of folios in thousands of manuscripts and I have sampled thousands of examples (tens of thousands).
It does not look like medieval 5. It DOES look like medieval g or y with a macron.
I've posted examples in another thread, but it's not an easy thing to find with search.
