Guide to Silver Marks of the World
by Jan Diviš is a handbook for collectors and dealers to identify silver hallmarks from more than 30 countries. It contains illustrations and explanations for nearly 2,000 marks, primarily focusing on historical hallmarks used up to the 1930s.
Content and structure
Guide to Silver Marks of the World is structured for quick, visual reference, with an introduction on hallmarking practices in each featured country. The book organizes the nearly 2,000 marks by their pictorial subject rather than by region. This allows the user to identify a mark based on its most prominent visual element. The categories are:

Letters (Nos. 1–669)
Numerals (Nos. 670–695)
Human figures (Nos. 696–887)
Mammals (Nos. 888–1140)
Birds (Nos. 1141–1302)
Other animals (Nos. 1303–1359)
Plants (Nos. 1360–1482)
Heavenly bodies (Nos. 1483–1517)
Architecture (Nos. 1518–1591)
Objects (Nos. 1592–1816)
Emblems (Nos. 1817–1994)
