False : pure silver , or pure gold ALWAYS have a punch. ( ask to ognasty ) ( an eagle for gold , dont remember what is for silver....)
I've got a 2oz minted seat by OgN right here in my hands (they are .999 fine silver), it's got no "punch" whatsoever on it, as far as I can tell. Neither does my silver wallet or my silver lealana set, which I just checked aswell.

I just checked:
- 0.1 BTC Casascius - Casascius Super Bowl - 0.05 BTC Microsoul (normal + gold plated) - Cold Hard Cash bitcoin (2014 model)
None of them have an additional marking. I even checked a few coins producted by the Royal Dutch Mint and they don't have any additional markings either. I'll check the rest of my silver coins later but I doubt any of them will have a marking. I know jewelry and gold/silver bars have them but I've never seen it on a coin before.

an exeption for physicals cryptos then ? or maybe country related ? ( in France all silver or gold pieces , even table ones , have one ... ) would be interesting to ask ognasty about his 4 oz pure gold, if he should have one or not..) anyway , probably country differences, .. ) http://www.silvercollection.it/poinconsfrancais.html

I think it doesn't apply to coins in general: physical cryptos or other regular collectors or sovereign coins.

The website you posted doesn't mention coins either. antique silver, sterling silver, silverplate, sheffield plate, electroplate silver, silverware, flatware, tea services and tea complements, marks and hallmarks, articles, books, auction catalogs, famous silversmiths (Tiffany, Gorham, Jensen, Elkington, WMF, Reed & Barton, Mappin & Webb, Bateman Family), history, oddities. By stamping the coins (by hand) you risk to damage it and take away the mint condition. I checked some of my .999 silver Lunar Series coins (made by the Perth Mint) and they don't have stamps either. I seriously doubt you will find them on any coin, unless it's just a blank round made for storing your precious metals.

Not all precious metal coins have hallmarks. Coinographic was the only one that did that iirc.
