Creating this thread to focus more on potential numbers aspect of this puzzle.  Here are a few I noticed

A Piece of the New World

A P N W (capital letters in title)

PAWN (anagram)

64 is a number in the code, highlighted by the inserted image and backward tine

64 squares on a chess / checkboard

64 is a binary number (2 raise 6, 26 letters in the alphabet)

OPAL = 44 numerically

44 is last number in code

Possible homage to past hunts:

The special 9 in the cipher is in position 9.. a references to Forrest Fenns poem with 9 clues ?

Two 40’s stacked on top of each other.... PACE FORTY SOUTH from Fandango ?

The decipher i am working looks like mention of Stadther’s Treasure’s Trove

the evaluation of OPAL = 44 was previously mentioned

3 OPAL

3 x 44 = 132, the page Fenns poem is on

"A Piece" may also be "a bit"

The 64 is in position 2 (binary), and has an 8 (binary) sided star on it

noting that the Speck cipher is binary based
