Finnish silver hallmarks

Finnish silver can carry a crown in a heart-shaped control punch, together with responsibility, locality, fineness and date marks.

Distinctive marks and standards

A single crown in the Finnish control mark differs from Sweden’s three-crown device. Older Finnish silver can use 813H or 830, while 925 states sterling fineness.

What to check next

Identify the Finnish year-mark sequence before reading a letter-number date. The place and responsibility marks name the locality and registered maker; a crown used decoratively in a company logo has another role.
