German hallmarking system was unified in 1888 (see Decree January 7, 1886) adopting the national mark "crescent and crown" indicating
in thousandths the fineness of silver. This system is still in use in present days.
The previous system of antique German silver marks was based on different town marks symbols and the silver fineness was indicated in "loth"
(12 loth corresponding to 750/1000, 13 loth = 812/1000, 14 loth = 875/1000, 15 loth = 937/1000)
