No. The worshipful society of goldsmiths may be intimately involved with

it all, but if
I recall my history (feel free to correct me, you brits) , it was the

Royalty itself,
somewhere around the 12th century


The origin dates back to 1300 under Edward 1 when he used
the Leopard's head as a mark.
