Silver items with embedded coins cannot be dated from the coin. Other factors are in play. This was possibly made during the period of the Great Northern War of 1717-1720 or the Seven Years War 1754-63 when the price of silver spiked up (it was considered to be a hedge against inflation. as was gold in the 19th century and crypto currencies in modern times…I smell breadfruits laced with Tulips).
