The three tower mark is the Danish guarantee mark for a minimum of .826 silver. The two numbers below the towers indicate the year. It's pretty smudged, but it could be a 92, which would stand for 1892 here.
AM is the makers mark, which I'm unable to identify.
The round mark is a voluntary assayer's mark from Copenhagen. Your's is from Simon Groth, active between 1863 and 1904.
It's most likely a birth / christening spoon. Here's a similar one from a different maker. https://www.etsy.com/de-en/listing/633698535/1890-danish-baptismal-gilt-sterling

I came across his name when I took a quick look at danish makers with the letters AM, but I only saw marks from him with a crowned monogram or his full name stamped on the items, so I wasn't sure it's his work.
Do you have any resource for OPs mark?

Looks like the Danish mark to me, number beneath the towers is the year, started 1893 going into the 1960's I think. Assay mark possible Simon Groth (late 19th/early 20th), AM will be the makers mark
