Okay. Since this discussion has begun dealing with the mysterious number, I will show my thinking process. However, I wasn't able to finish it.

First, I wrote the digits in 7-segments style and turned it upside down.

I got something looking like this: 62ll5lL0 (It looks strange in this form, it should be written in the 7-segments style)

The first digit looks like letter 'b', so I thought about b2. That could be coordinates and I immediately thought of chess. Pawn is the piece that is on b2 in the set-up position.

Pawn piece doesn't appear only in chess. There's a piece called pawn in shogi as well. It can be promoted to promoted pawn and then it is written as と金. And 金 means "gold".

Next is I. Number 1 can be read "hito" which also means "human" or "person".

I5 = IS

And that is as far as I got. "Golden man is IL0"
