AE(conjoined) crowned (overstruck). Year-letter
69 for

Maker's mark
AP, at the moment without my reference books but I believe it to be an unidentified maker's mark. Will double check after the 19th of December and confirm.
The zig zag mark; Assaying by tremulierstrich or silver removal. See;

Hello Anto,
The maker's initials AP are known for Bergen 18th century. Unfortunately unidentified.
