Chinese silver mark, ca 1900 (late Qing era) that reads 漢慶和.
The Chinese experts here could give more info.

Guy.

I Googled the mark and came up with this Chinese language website (link) claiming a different type of silver piece with the same mark dates to the late 19th-early 20th century.

The mark's characters (漢慶和) read down in Mandarin as "Han Qing He". "He" can be a surname, in which case the mark would be written in pinyin as Hanqing He in modern usage. However, there are other possible translations.

Best regards,

Bill H.
