Unable to id 2 marks on Egyptian cuff bracelet

Hi,
Would like to know what the marks indicate on either side of the Lotus Flower on this cuff bracelet. All help much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello.

That sure makes things difficult when they punch holes in the marks.
The mark on the left indicates .800 fineness, and I'm guessing Alexandria.

Can't help with the date mark on the right.

Right - you saw that too - took me a while to see the Lotus. The Lotus Flower means dated after 1946 right - just not sure how recent. Thanks for the info - your time is much appreciated.

You are correct about the Lotus flower.
