Just a different system of marking probably.

Yeah, European Hallmarking for Gold is different to how it is in the US. If you would like to work out here is a guide to the different hallmarking stamps used across Europe.

Modern jewellery would typically be stamped with a Makers mark then a purity mark and an Assay Office Mark.
