It is changed every year and differs for each assay office. Connoisseurs attach very great import ance to this letter, for it enables them to date the period to which the article belongs.
There is one other design that may sometimes be found, and that is the figure of Britannia. In that can the lion will be missing, for the article in "Britannia" and not sterling silver.
