Help with Monk mark on soup ladle

On this site I found that they used Monk marks on Munich silver...did they use them in any other countries? What does the "21" signify? The name looks like Y. H. Johansen, not too German sounding. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. http://img5.sellersourcebook.com/users/92239/dsc0...

Help With French Backstamp Seal End Spoon

Hello, I think that this is the Minerva mark, however, it is not fully stamped and showing any great detail. There is also a diamond shape located above it but I can't make out what is inside. There are also some tiny partially stamped marks around the seal end of the spoon. Any help in identifying ...
