Crown inside heart is Finland; 813H is the standard of silver (81.3%); H7 was the date letter for 1961.
The other two marks are more difficult; Lion lying down may be town mark for Kristiina, difficult to be sure without photo, which would make the bar with 3 dots the maker's mark probably.

'Bar with three dots over it' is actually a castle which is the town mark of Hämeenlinna. The lion lying down is the maker which is Kultakeskus Oy.

Kultakeskus Oy used this symbol from 1977. In 1961, it was registered to Hopeakeskus Oy (1926-1977). I'm sure it's the same company with a different name. Apparently, they upgraded from "Silver centre" (Hopeakeskus) to "Gold centre" (Kultakeskus)!
