Office Closed on Monday 19th September 2022

As a mark of our deepest respect after the sad death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on the day of her state funeral, Monday 19th September 2022, Sheffield Assay Office will remain closed.

All services will resume as normal on Tuesday 20th September 2022, which marks the end of the period of national mourning.

Please direct all enquiries to info@assayoffice.co.uk.

God bless the Queen. Long live the King.


The Sheffield Assay Office was established in 1773, under an Act of Parliament and today the company assays and hallmarks the precious metals - silver, gold, platinum and palladium. Sheffield Assay Office is one of only four UK assay offices who all work to uphold the Hallmarking Act of 1973 and continue to ensure consumer protection for customers purchasing precious metals.
