Markings on the back of doll's head can mean different things but generally always describe the maker, maybe the artist, usually a number in a series (2/5000) would mean number 2 doll out of a series of 5000 that was produced, a mold number, date made and could mean other things.
Here are a couple of links that explain these markings.

If all you are wanting to know is what do these markings mean on your doll then it would help someone identify her better if we had other photos, more information about the doll (how old is the doll, how did you acquire it, what names have you been told associated with the doll, size of doll). There is not enough information in the markings for me to identify the doll (this type of marking would probably need to be seen by a doll collector and they may still need more information).

You may be able to take the doll to a vintage or antique doll store for help or you can go to some sites that have ID markings listed (photos) and sift through (maybe hundreds) to see if you can find your markings.
Maybe someone else will have a better idea of these markings.

I found a porcelain doll's head in the second hand. It cost me only 25 cents. I don't really mind how much it costs but i wanna lnow what marking on her neck means. It says 9427 A. I am guessing it's just a size or sth but i wish i could find out who made it.

This is an old post and it's unlikely that anyone knowledgable will see it to answer. I'd post it as a new question to our current active members. Here is the link:

I am not familiar with these markings. There may be markings on the doll's chest, back or feet. You need to know how old the doll was and who made it to determine the value.
