They are carved with a punch in the objects of gold, silver or platinum for a workshop or laboratory officially accredited for chemical purity Hallmark on metal samples. These marks are stamped in inconspicuous locations of the object and if that person has separate removable parts or as a lid, handles, etc., must be present in every part of noble metal.
The legislation differs between countries and different traditions but generally consists of a mark indicating the purity or quality of metal. This can be added others such as the manufacturer, the regulator and in countries like France and Britain for dating a piece.
