Denarius of 83 BCE, depicting Venus, with a banker's mark next to the tip of her nose

A banker's mark (or bankers' mark) is a symbol or letter stamped or scratched into many republican and early imperial Roman coins, whose purpose is unclear.

Historians and numismatists have speculated that the marks may been used to assess the purity of a coin's silver, demonstrate that it was not a plated forgery, or for accounting or auditing purposes.
