The coins are very nice, but the spoon handle is interesting also. Is it pewter or silver? Any info on who made it, looks like a hallmark on there? Congrats.

I'm not sure if its pewter or silver, but the hallmark is TE S let me know if you figure something out on it

I am going to guess it is Silver.
Here are some possibilities.

Thomas Ellis was an English Silversmith and the mark was could date from 1780.
or
Thomas Edwards also a English Silversmith and the mark could date from 1837.

These are all feasible being you found a 1797 Coin from this time-frame.

The marks would generally though be accompanied by a vertical or horizontal Lion and not an S. It almost appears there is another mark after the S and prior to the TE ???
There are many marks that are not even registered that are floating around and this could be from a small Silversmith.

Can you pot some super close-ups of the marks???

This is the best I can get of it without being blurry
