maker's mark
Explanation:
Kontekstā ar zelta stieņiem (ingot, bullion), kur stāstīts par provju zīmēm, var atrast "maker's mark".

[1]
"The hallmark will generally show a MAKERS MARKS, the finesse (carat value), the assay office stamp and a date year stamp."

"The first mark we see is the MAKERS MARK, telling us who manufactured the item (in this instance, H Samuel).
The next mark we see is a Crown or Gold Standard Mark. This was first introduced in 1798 and can now been seen on all UK hallmarked gold that’s 9, 14 18 and 22ct. The crown also appears on old 12 and 15 carat gold, however this was stopped in 1932.
We now come to the mark that tells us the gold fineness (purity)."

"The symbols give the following information:
* who made the article
* what is its guaranteed standard of fineness
* the Assay Office at which the article was tested and marked
* the year in which the article was tested and marked
(1) Sponsor's Mark (formerly known as the MAKER'S MARK)
This shows the person or company responsible for sending the article to the Assay Office. The sponsor may be the manufacturer, retailer, importer, for example."

"Finally they would stamp{s} the gold with unique identifying marks, indicating the weight, purity, and value, as well as their own MAKER'S MARKS, and return the ingots to the owners."

mint


Explanation:
Domāju, tā pati naudas kaltuve vien būs.
Lūk, piemērs -- http://bullion.nwtmint.com/gold.php
Redzams, ka kaltuve nodarbojas gan ar monētu, gan stieņu kalšanu.

Šī saite arī ir noderīga, jo tajā aprakstīts "minted gold bars" tapšanas process -- http://www.goldbarsworldwide.com/PDF/RT_2_HowMinted.pdf

disagree  Valters Feists: Monētu kaltuve un zelta kaltuve sakrīt tikai reizēm. Pēc definīcijām ir šādi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_(coin) "A mint is an industrial facility which manufactures coins for currency.", http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/mint
