A silver or gold object that is to be sold commercially is, in most countries, stamped with one or more hallmarks indicating the purity of the metal and the mark of the manufacturer or silversmith. The word “hallmark” derives from the fact that, since the 16th Century, precious metals were sent to the London Goldsmiths’ Hall for testing to ensure that the correct standard of silver had been used. The Goldsmiths’ Hall was the headquarters of the Goldsmiths’ Company and the home of the Assay Office for centuries. In some countries the testing of precious metal objects and marking of purity is controlled by a national assay office, although in the 20th Century efforts were undertaken to develop international standards that most nations now ascribe to. Depending on the national legislation the use of hallmarks may be compulsory, voluntary, or provided by a manufacturer’s declaration. The Belgian hallmarking system, for example, is organized purely on a voluntary basis.
