Symbol guide
Leopard head silver hallmark
With a leopard head silver hallmark, the separate date letter and sponsor mark narrow the assay year and responsible business.
Recognising this device
The leopard is shown as a head, unlike the full walking lion passant. The office device can be crowned on earlier silver and uncrowned on later examples. The separate date letter and sponsor mark narrow the assay year and responsible business.
What to check next
Copy the sponsor initials and fineness beside the device. If a date letter is present, match its case, lettering and surround to the identified office or national system. Keep each separate punch visible in the comparison photograph.
