The story is that when Sheffield and Birmingham silversmiths were lobbying in London to have their own assay marks they stayed at the Crown and Anchor tavern. When they were granted the right they tossed a coin to decide who would use the crown ( Sheffield ) and who would use the anchor ( Birmingham ).
