Platinum Jubilee Hallmark Withdrawn

As a mark of respect to HRH Queen Elizabeth II, the Assay Office has announced the immediate withdrawal of the commemorative Platinum Jubilee Hallmark.

A commemorative mark is a hallmark which celebrates major events. Recent commemorative marks include the Silver Jubilee ~ 1934-1935, The Coronation ~ 1953, the Silver Jubilee ~ 1977, The Millennium ~ 1999-2000, The Golden Jubilee `~ 2002 , The Diamond Jubilee ~ 2012 and The Platinum Jubilee ~ 2022.

Commemorative Marks are optional hallmarks which can be added alongside the Date Letters and Traditional Marks.

The hallmark for The Queen's Jubilee depicts an orb. Designed by Thomas Fattorini Ltd, the approval process took over a year. The mark was originally scheduled to be struck throughout the jubilee year.
