Add'l on Inscription. I consulted a more knowledgeable person, Teri Bryant, who make the top three To I In (pronunced like toe-een), those katakana are normally used to write foreign words, but are sometimes used for other things. She can't make out the fourth symbol either. The result is still the same, something about the 14th year which would correspond with the date 1940 in relation to Hirohito's reign.
