Hi
There's no any other hallmark except lettering - German Silver.
I can't confirm it's brass or not and signs of intensive use are visible...inside of the box on the worn part it's gold colour and other side it is strong silver colour. From outside box it's gold Toned except the button for opening the box which is Silver Toned.
That's all what I can say.
Thank you
Best
Slobodan

Antique German silver would have been designated .800 (the quality of the sterling); having it written, and in English, denotes a 20th Century thing. I'm fairly sure the coin insert is brass. Otherwise, you're all set
