Spoon box (6) - .835 silver - Antique spoon set

The hallmarks on the silver object indicate Dutch silver, produced in 1847 in Schoonhoven
Explanation of the hallmarks

From left to right the hallmarks can be interpreted as follows:
Master mark: The first mark (with the number '2' inside) is the master mark or responsibility mark of the silversmith, unique to the maker.

Halter mark: The passant lion with the number '2' underneath is the Dutch hallmark for second-grade silver, meaning that the silver has a fineness of 835/1000 (83.5%).

Office mark (Minerva head): The head of the goddess Minerva with a letter in the helmet is the office mark. The letter indicates at which assay office the silver was tested. The letter 'M' in the helmet specifically stands for the Schoonhoven assay office

Date letter: The letter 'N' in a circular shield (in the shown style) is the date letter, indicating the exact year in which the item was tested. In this case it corresponds to the year 1847
