Country guide
Australian silver hallmarks
Among Australian silver hallmarks, a group of company devices and an imported British hallmark should be read as separate marking systems.
Distinctive marks and standards
STG denotes the sterling standard, 92.5% silver. Australian makers have also used groups of pictorial trade devices. A crown or animal in such a group need not be a British assay-office punch.
What to check next
Compare the actual maker signature and any town wording. Keep EPNS and plate descriptions apart from the sterling abbreviation. A group of company devices and an imported British hallmark should be read as separate marking systems.
