The date is the year.

Dates are normally added to a so-called "master die" that has the rest of the coin's image engraved on it but not the date. Each year the dateless master die is copied and the date is engraved separately to create that year's dated master. Many copies of the master are then made and used in each coin press.

The final die is a negative (incuse and reversed) version of the coin's design so that the design will be both right-side up and raised when used to strike coins.
