Prints were not numbered in the Edo period. This is a western custom and appeared in Japanese prints in the 1900s.

Without seeing a picture, it sounds like your print is a recent reproduction with only decorative value. If you attach a photo, we may be able to confirm my supposition.

Cheers,
Stan
