GB_Amateur Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_standards Britannia silver has a millesimal fineness of at least 958. The alloy is 95.84% pure silver and 4.16 per cent copper or other metals. The Britannia standard was developed in Britain in 1697 to help prevent British sterling silver coins from being melted to make silver plate. It was obligatory in Britain between 1697 and 1720, when the sterling silver standard was restored. It became an optional standard thereafter. That's my guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoastmark Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Up the other way it looks like 800. 800: the minimum standard for silver in Germany after 1884;"Plata de segunda ley" in Spain (Second law silver); Egyptian silver; Canadian silver circulating coinage from 1920-1966/7 Maybe that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
