If it is not clearly individually numbered rosettes, rather than a literal Roman numeral as you see it, then a redesign maybe required...

Edit: I accept that 9 does look a little awkward though.

Quite. And the Romans themselves, historically, did write XIIII. IX is a "modern" invention. "Modern" in scare quotes because the Romans themselves invented it, just slighly later (AFAIAA "only" in Republican rather than Regal/Etruscan times) than when they started using IXC
M being an altogether later invention from (}) )
.

Therefore, anyone who claims IIII is wrong, is simply a modernist barbarian - so there.
