Most likely it is the designs lot number. So if you wanted to reorder more of the same, you could use the 8336 as the design code. But this is just a guess. I am looking for a number as well...9218
What do the numbers 3478 mean on silver

Styles, types and embossing
It is a date stamp. The numbers should be in a diamond pattern on the stamp. The 1 on top the 8 on bottom and the 56 together in the middle. It means the piece was made in 1856.
It means the siver content is 95% pure and is known as Britannia Silver.
Possibly a production number?
if the number .925 is stamped on it also that means sterling silver if the number .999 is stamped on the ring that means it is pure silver if no numbers, i am not sure
its fake
Sil is unstressed
They indicate what printing the book is on.
