The “Hallmark” on the locket is most probably a date, standing for 1318 ( 1900 in the Gregorian calendar). Many Moroccan artifacts are dated in the Islamic calendar but with European numerals rather than Arabic. See for example dating on another Moroccan Koumaya dated to 1313 (1895)

Thanks Artzi. That makes perfect sense.
