Thanks so much Sir. I know the meaning of 90 silver plated, but that crown gives me hard time and also, they are some countries who use 90 as solid silver 90% hallmark, but now I'm clear about them. Thanks so much for your reply

Best regards !

The marks read AH crown 90. Indeed silver plated made by Zilverstad BV in Schoonhoven and AH conjoined is for Albert Heijn or Ahold. One of the biggest retail outlet in the Netherlands.
