Though I like the \Bbb N and R, I post some suggestion used in my PhD thesis
where I didn't have AmsLaTeX:

\newcommand{\nnum}{\mbox{ \rule{0.05em}{1.6ex}\hspace{0.02em}{\rm N} }}
\newcommand{\rnum}{\mbox{ \rule[-.05ex]{0.05em}{1.6ex}\hspace{0.001em}{\rm R} }}

Hoppe this helps (otherwise play with the \rule's)
