I recently picked up these 2 silver bowls. Befor I gave them a quick polish I thought they were tin. Once I was able to get a better look at the HALLMARKS I realized they might be silver. On one I'm able to make out what appears to be in a lozenge (875 a hammer and sickle in a star) next to that I make out (9EC). After doing some research I find that those might be fake Russian Marks. On the second Bowl the marks are harder too read but the one that is more clear reads ECB.
I'm also wondering what the "2750 and the word written below means" I'm assuming it's Russian.
There are also 3 scenic images can anyone tell where the build and mountain are located and if they do exist.
I would really appreciate to have any info on these 2 bowls.
Thanks in advance

Beautiful! It's Armenian and says 2750 Yerevan. Yerevan is a city which had its 2750 years anniversary in 1968. So the bowl commemorate that Jubilee from 1968.

Here are the letters on the coat of arms:

The mountain depicted must be the Mount Ararat. Although it's inside the Turkish border today, it is the principal national symbol of Armenia and has always been considered a sacred mountain by Armenians.
Wow
Thank you so much OlofZ
I'm so excited now to show them to my Armenian friends and to do more research.
Thanks again
