The silver dish with hallmarks to the top, is in repousse work and decorated with multiple flowers and folio, none of the flowers are the
same on the dish.
In the middle is a cartouche, engraved with letters and symbols, it starts strangely with the Templars Jerusalem Cross or the Cross of the
Order of Christ, it further comes with a strange series of letters which makes no words i.e.: AZH CK CICTO KYPTE HSONA TONEC OFF FON
within between the so called words are symbols placed, it end with the date of 1720, could this be coded ?
I have tried to decipher the strange wordings, but could not find anything related. to this dish
