![](/media/2770/w-2021.jpg)
The date letter for 2021 will be a lower case w as shown.
A non-compulsory mark, the date letter changes annually on 1 January. The font, case, and shield shape all change so each can only indicate one specific year.
Both Goldsmiths' Hall and the Greville Street office will open at 10am on 4 January 2021.
