To mark Her Majesty the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the London Assay Office has created a short film demonstrating the production and application of the recently announced Platinum Jubilee hallmark.

Marking the Platinum Jubilee

In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, seventy years of service, having acceded to the throne in 1952.

To celebrate the occasion, the body which oversees UK hallmarking, the British Hallmarking Council, has sanctioned a commemorative component mark.

Designed by Thomas Fattorini Ltd, the mark depicts an orb and can be applied to precious metal, alongside a hallmark, by any one of the four UK Assay Offices.
