Central bankers are politicians disguised as economists or bankers. They’re either incompetent or liars. So, either way, you’re never going to get a valid answer.” - Peter Schiff

Sound money is not a guarantee of a free society, but a free society is impossible without sound money. We are currently a society enslaved by debt.

Hi, thank you for tag, @HerefordBullyun.

Unfortunately, your cellar salts are cupro-nickel, not silver.

Are made in USSR before 1969 by a soviet company named Yummet. The number 5 written before the company's name is showing the number of "artel" from which company belongs. Probably, 5 was allocated for artisanal metal craftworks, I don't know for sure.

An "artel" can be described according Wikipedia as "a small workshop, ostensibly co-operative, but actually under government control."

These artels been disolved from 1969 and replaced by another type of cooperative organisations, with more control from communist authorities.

About the what is written on the bottom, it is easy: the prices.

One of them was 8 roubles and 00 kopecks, the second was cheaper: only 4 roubles and 00 kopecks.

i will attach another one for 4 roubles and 50 kopecks, downloaded from Etsy.

I hope this helps.

Kindest regards,

Stefan.

Hi, nice to speak with you again!🤗

I can not see too much from this picture. I know it is difficult to do a photo on a small gold item, but maybe you can do it better.

How I can see, with my old eyes, it is not a british hallmark, so will be very difficult to give you too many informations without a good quality picture.

I think the mark second from the top that looks like scales is the common control convention mark possibly the new type 2 mark

Yes, good point if it is a scale (balance). I couldn't see from picture.
