A mint mark (or mintmark) on any coin is a small letter/letters or symbol indicating the location of the mint where the coin was struck.
Different countries have used many different types of mint marks over the centuries. In addition, there are coins that don't carry mint marks. The variety is so great that it would be impossible to detail them here - in fact, books have been written about the topic. For example:
- US Coins use a one- or two-letter abbreviation for the city where a coin was made; e.g. D for Denver, W for West Point, etc. However many older coins and current 1-cent pieces don't have mint marks.
- German coins use a letter code assigned depending on when a particular mint began operations; e.g. A for Berlin, D for Munich, F for Stuttgart, etc. although this has varied a lot over time.
- Very few British Coins have mint marks, although H (Heaton) and KN (Kings Norton) have been used in the past along with other sources, again with great variation.
- Australian Coins have used letters (M for Melbourne, P for Perth, etc.) as well as dots in various positions; what and where are dependent on date and denomination.
