Need help with symbol on spoon

Hi, this spoon says HEP ж unknown symbol, ц 40k. Does anyone know what the middle symbol is, or what it stands for? Also any additional information on this spoon is most welcome!

I believe the ж and ц are part of the Cyrillic alphabet, possibly Russian. Here are the pics.

I just found this pic.

If you would turn that middle image upside down, it would be pretty close to matching the unknown symbol on the spoon. What do you think?

Hi, im 14 years late but I made an account for this post, my grandma has these spoons and she is Polish so theres a chance they were bought in Poland regardless I am wondering how I can find them to buy more cause I really like these spoons. Thank you for being the only person to mention anything about them even if you may never see this <3

HEPЖ is a term that means ‘stainless’ and refers to elegant cutlery produced in Russia, including during the Soviet era.

ц - цена - price.

40k - 40 копеек.

Нержавеющая сталь (коррозионно-стойкие стали, в просторечье «нержавейка») — легированная сталь, устойчивая к коррозии в атмосфере и агрессивных средах, обладающая термостойкими свойствами.
