One coin, in any language, can be represented by holding up a single coin. When you put any two "one coins" together, you have 2 coins, in any language. This is why numbers are not subjective in the same way that spoken languages are subjective. The word for 1 could translate into parrot in one language and ardvark in another, but by using 1, this barrier of subjectivity is eliminated. The conceptual abstraction of numbers is an appeal to authority. The thing that they represent is not.
Hold two fingers in front of your face. Now go hold those fingers up in front of anyone you like and ask them what they see (find someone who speaks a different language than you and do the same). What conclusion can you make from this?
