Respectfully I would appreciate your assistance in identifying the two hallmarks on this silver coin tankard. One mark is Rs (capital R and small s) and one mark is what appears to be a fish in an oval cartouche. I presume the tankard to be 18th century, but am uncertain. Thanks!

Hi Villamarea-

I am an amatuer, and would like to know why you have come to the conclusion that it is coin silver? It is a beautiful tankard; but what are what seem to be shields on it? Could you post a close up shot of them?

Regards- Byron

That looks interesting please send better pictures of mark.
And better pictures of the coins they can help in identifying which country we should look.

Thank you for the two responses. To be specific:
1. It is not coin silver, there are a total of 32 coins, metals and medallions embedded in the tankard; and
2. The coins are wide ranging from German, a 1617 Martin Luther jubilee metal, to a 1657 thaler of Ferdinand III, to a Spanish coin, and of all of the coins, the latest date I found was one minted 1711.
