What started off as a bit of fun, seems to have got quite a bit interest in me producing some of these. This is the 12 coaster designs I've settled on. I'm using different coasters to the original post as these aren't quite as white looking.

Each coaster is finished with a coat of tinted furniture wax. If there is enough interest in these then I will put up a sales post.
 

Gothic crown anyone? This is on wood.

Right then, I think I've cracked it. Have tried a few different styles, but this is the best.
Original first followed by the latest version 

Just a bit of fun really, been playing around with my laser engraver, never tried coasters before, so didn't have a clue on design, so I thought I'd have a go at some special year sovereigns for a start.
Wanted to make them look they had been pressed into the coaster surface, rather then a perfect picture. Little bit of a clean up with the sander, and some sort of finish on top and I think they will look alright 😁

And fire 'retardant'

67 troy ounces of gold coins recently has around (£1500/ounce) £100,000 value. Weighs around 4.57 pounds.
4.57 pounds weight of £20 notes is around 2073 grams/£20 notes (a £20 note weighs about a gram) around £41,460 value.
It requires more energy to move/carry heavier things around. Pound (weight) for Pound and gold takes up less space and weighs less than £20 notes. 
Stop wasting energy, hold gold instead of £20 notes, its more than twice as efficient.

Thank you mate 😊

Hi, @SidS. Nice little cup!🤗
 
 "In part I'm very dubious about the date mark, surely there should be a line separating the date from the maker's/Assayer's mark? Above the date the left part also suggests 84 - which this should be Zolotnik 84 - but I've never seen it incorporated into the date mark before, usually it's separate."
 
This mark is correct, it is one known variation of russian hallmark (see screenshots). The assayer is A. Romanov, Moscow, who started assaying from 1885, so the period is good.
The silversmith maker mark is M.Yu.F. I couldn't find his name in silvercollection.it or 925-1000.com encyclopedias, but there are plenty of unidentified silversmith, so I wouldn't be worried about.
I have tried to open this PDF https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/67252, I am sure there are more informations about Silver Guild of Moscow, but I can not from my tablet. They ask me to provide a Vodafone account and I haven't.
The round stamp with P. is from the word "Privozny" (sometimes Privozny Tovarov), meaning "Imported" or "Imported Goods" .
Edit: the letter "P." is probably from the word " Реквизировано " ( Rekvizirovano),  meaning Requisitioned, not from "Privozny". My mistake. It is Cyrillic, not Latin letter.😊
 This would perfectly explain the rubbed marks from the basement of your cup. I suspect your cup was made in Poland or Finland but I can not be sure. The marks are very unclear.
The 875 punch is a very interesting one. The three digits purity number and the female profile head turned to the right started to be mandatory from 1908, so definitely after the year 1893. After 1917 Revolution, they continued to use the same stamp until 1927 when the system of hallmarking was changed. 
 
I don't think it is a fake. If the object was tested positive as solid silver, it is not any reason to have fake hallmarks of an unknown maker. The solid silver fakes usually are imitations of very well known makers.
 
My final conclusions about your vodka cup are (if it is indeed tested as solid silver):
1. It was made in a territory occupied by Russia, possibly Poland, but because the marks are destroyed, impossible to know exactly where and when.
2. It was assayed in 1893 in Moscow by A. Romanov, at the request of M.Yu.F. silversmith.
3. It was confiscated after Bolshevik Revolution and re-assayed between 1921 and 1927.
 
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
Stefan.🤗
 
 

 
 

Brilliant!
I can't thank you enough. 😁
I purchased this as the hallmarks interested me and I like a puzzle. Although I got more of a puzzle than I expected. Funnily enough, I did search through Polish, Finnish, Romanian, Latvian and Lithuanian hallmarks thinking it might be from a Russian province or nearby neighbour, as the marks clearly appeared influenced by Russia, if not exactly Russian.
I stumbled upon the Soviet connection by chance having never had Soviet era silver so I wasn't sure what I was looking for.
There's quite a bit of history in this piece then. I'm delighted with the purchase - it's exactly what I want from my silverware.

Welcome 🌞

Hello everyone, 
i am new to the group and just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone. I’ve only been collecting almost a week so am very new to it all so please bear with me if I ask any questions related to coins I’m interested in buying. Although only being one week in I have already built up a nice little collection, all with the help of my very good friend of many many years, 365 days of silver, who helped me get started and even unboxed my first big order on his YouTube channel. I’m mainly interested in 1oz silver coins and am excited to be part of this highly praised forum. Thanks again and I look forward to any dealings I may have with you all.
Rob
