That is a Russian "Kokoshnik" mark.
The 84 stands for zolotniks which converts to .875 fineness.
This mark was used from 1896 - 1908.

The two small cyrillic letters found in the 84 mark; are the initials of assayer Ivan Lebedkin. This means the piece was marked in Moscow.

Hi,

Ivan Lebedkin was appointed Assayer at Moscow in 1899, which narrows down the time scale a little.
