I could use some help identifying a small silver & lapis box I have. It measures about 3” x 2” x 0.5” and has an old typed paper tag in the box that says:"Russian lapis encased in sterling with a gold wash interior, 1909"

I’ve been trying to figure out the hallmarks to confirm the date and origin, but I’m going in circles! If anyone has experience with Russian hallmarks, I’d love your thoughts. I'm honestly not sure if the tag stating it's Russian is correct. I can't find any marks that match.

Stamps:
JW (makers mark) Jacob Wiberg? Thats the only Russian maker I can find that might match, but it looks too crisp
Oval frame with 2 letters in it - I can't make these out even with my loupe
Oval frame with a lowercase d (I am assuming that this is the year, but I can't find a match)
Oval frame with a pound sign & maybe an R?
Crown inside a circle in a square frame
