I read a long time ago the the different numbers indicated different purities of the metal, in this case silver. Sorry that I don't have the article at hand but I'm fairly certain that's the meaning.

Hello,
Yes, argent is silver. The numbers stand for purity of the silver.
1 stands for .920, 2 is for .840 and 3 is for .750. Just a little something I picked up from purchasing french coins and jewelry. Kind Regards, rcpigs
