Description
It is easy to understand the usefulness of **official marks or hallmarks** on products from industries that use precious metals.
However, the hallmarking requirement is not very old. In France - the country where the first official hallmark appeared - *date of the ordinance of Philip the Bold in 1275*.
**You will find in the [Gold and Silver Punch Dictionaries on the Interor.fr website](http://poincons.interor.fr) the complete list presented in the form of a database that can be consulted online 24 hours a day.**
The information in this database is taken from a book published in 1924 called "Dictionnaire des Poinçons" written by M. Beuque, Controller of the Guarantee in Paris.
Next to the picture or drawing, the visitor will find a detailed description of the hallmark.
