Hindu-Arabic numerals: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9

Roman numerals: I V X L C D and M

The main difference between the numeral systems is that the Hindu-Arabic system needs a zero symbol for positional place value purposes whereas the Roman system does not need a zero symbol because the values of its numerals are self evident.
