Need help with identifying Moroccan Koummya

if this is an old piece the color of the metal and the fact that it shows as being very crisply chiselled would be extraordinary. There is no sign of use and that would be extraordinary in an old piece.

I think this is a high quality modern piece.

Older pieces look rubbed in places.

It certainly looks like it may be Hebrew (which I read a bit) but if that is the case it is a number probably showing the year according to the Jewish tradition.
The writing is a bit indistinct and I read a year that , if true , would be ancient so I doubt it.

calculate yourself here
