  • Silver Coins
    Silver Coins Mintmarks first started to appear under the reign of Edward III and have continued to be used even on the very latest modern decimal issues. Like the older coin inscriptions system of moneyers and town/city names these marks were intended to be used as a way of holding moneyer's accountable for the quality of their coins. Initially this new idea was used in tandem with the older inscriptions system but eventually only the new mintmarks system would prevail. As mintmarks were used to distinguish a coin, who struck it, where and when, it has left us with considerable information in historical archives which we can use to help identify a coin even if it is not dated, or its origin is not immediately known. Hammered coins were produced by placing a blank piece of metal (a planchet or flan) of the correct weight between two dies, and then striking the upper die with a hammer to produce the required image on both sides. The planchet was usually cast from a mold. The bottom die (sometimes called the anvil die) was usually counter sunk in a log or other sturdy surface and was called a pile. One of the minters held the die for the other side (called the trussel), in his hand while it was struck either by himself or an assistant. In later history, in order to increase the production of coins, hammered coins were sometimes produced from strips of metal of the correct thickness, from which the coins were subsequently cut out. Both methods of producing hammered coins meant that it was difficult to produce coins of a regular diameter.
