 KING PHILIP II:
Without a doubt, one of the greatest mysteries of modern Spanish numismatics is the absence of the assayer's mark on all of the coins that King Philip II struck from his silver ingots (1) at his own private water powered mill mint in Segovia, Spain.
The inclusion of the assayer's mark on all Spanish coinage, obligatory since 1497 (4) was a direct response for the need to identify the individual who prepared the alloy, whom, for his part, guaranteed that the fineness corresponded to the officially required 11 dineros and 4 grains, in the case of silver coins.
The absence of the assayer mark on all of the silver coins struck at the Segovia Mill Mint during the reign of King Philip II has always been one of the biggest mysteries of modern Spanish coinage and was always worthy of a detailed numismatic investigation.

 Civilization.ca - Voyages of Martin Frobisher - Assaying in the Sixteenth Century
An assayer is observing the crucible that he has just placed in a furnace with a pair of pincers.
In the dry method to separate precious metal from slag, the assayer ground up the ore sample in a mortar, weighed it with a balance scale, and placed it in a special container to ensure that nothing was lost.
None of the methods used by assayers to identify metals were free of problems, and it was not unknown for assayers to fake results.

  Galileo Galilei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galileo went to Rome to defend himself against these accusations, but, in 1616, Cardinal Roberto Bellarmino personally handed Galileo an admonition enjoining him to neither advocate nor teach Copernican astronomy because it was contrary to the accepted understanding of the Holy Scriptures.
In 1622, Galileo wrote the The Assayer (Saggiatore), which was approved and published in 1623.
In 1624, he developed the first known example of the microscope.

 Atoka Atocha Treasure Company Presents The Atocha Shipwreck Research Coin Collection Of 22 Coins Palace
Assayer "R" during the Philip II era was probably Juan Alvarez Reinaltes.
Coins with the initial of assayer "B" struck during the reign of Philip III can with fair certainty be attributed to Juan de Ballesteros Narvaez and coins as assayer "R" to Gaspar Ruiz.
In the section dealing with counterfeits, most of the questionable coins either have the initial "R" or are in type and die design similar to the Philip III coins of assayer "R." The dies of both "B" and "R" are notable for the degraded lions and castles, sloppy striking and general indifference to aesthetic appeal.

 The Assayer's Trade
No attempt was made by the assayers to change the purity of the gold in the bars.
Reports of an assayer's valuations coming in short of their stated face value would spread through the streets and mining camps like wildfire, immediately impacting the assayers business and frequently leading to the demise of the firm.
A reputable assayer was paramount to the development of the local community.

 Spanish Colonial Cobs: Introduction
If an assayer's initials are present and the mint is known then some dating parameters may be determined, as the dates of appointment are available for many assayers.
At the various Peru mints the position of assayer was annually auctioned to the highest bidder, so the winning appointee tried to get as much profit from the enterprise as possible during their year in office.
However, even with the new regulations, as long as the assayer's office was auctioned to the highest bidder, some debasement of the Peruvian coinage continued throughout the cob period.

 Ship of Gold
Considering that private assayer coins survived in great quantity and are highly prized by collectors, it is amazing that very few specimens, all quite small, of the assayer ingots are still in existence.
Although the assayer ingots were accepted in transactions, many of the private coins and ingots were refined and used to make new United States coinage, once the US mints were able to meet demand.
The assayer ingots, the crème de la crème of the hoard, were released for public sale recently and can be acquired from Authorized Ingot Dealers.

On the obverse to the left of the shield the assayer initial D is visible.
Other Mexican assayers in the years 1671 and 1724-1730 also used the initial D, but the Hapsburg shield on the obverse of the coin gives further evidence for the earlier assayer.
Interestingly, the two reales example shown here is quite unusual in that it has been stamped with the mark of assayer P and then overstamped with the mark of assayer D. Provenance: From the Robert H. Gore, Jr.

I have set thee among my people as an assayer, a fortress, that thou mayest know and try their way.
fortress-(Jer 1:18), rather, "an assayer (and) explorer." By a metaphor from metallurgy in Jer 6:27-30, Jehovah, in conclusion, confirms the prophet in his office, and the latter sums up the description of the reprobate people on whom he had to work.
The Hebrew for "assayer" (English Version, "tower") is from a root "to try" metals.

The Assayer's main reason for existing is to help people sort out the good stuff from the junk in the wild world of internet publishing.
Although there are several excellent catalogs of free books on the internet (1, 2, 3), The Assayer is different because it focuses on books that have been intentionally set free by their authors, as opposed to old public-domain books.
In general, what you do on The Assayer is very public (see the public log, for instance), but the only personal information you have to provide publicly is your login name, and even that can be fanciful.

The only known Bogota assayer of this period is Benaventura de Arce, who after 1701 apparently declined to engrave a mint mark or assayer’s mark on his dies!
Throwing them away was unthinkable to the ever frugal assayer Ramos, and unnecesssary when the legalities could be preserved by pairing them with cross dies bearing the name of the new monarch.
On the shield side, the mint mark (NR), denomination (II) and assayer’s initial (R) are all present and clear.

 Imaginary Places: Helicopter Sketch
the date attributed to this sketch (A.D. 417) since Martin the Assayer was so fond of fudging dates, sometimes by as much as 200 years.
Lying about dates, authorship, etc., was common practice throughout Europe until the end of the fifteenth century, not counting later fabrications by the scoundrel Rudolf Raspe or the bogus works of the infamous Paco Wang.
And, as to the comparative merits of the designs, it seems a fair assumption that the design by Martin the Assayer stood a far better chance of actually flying, had either of these fanciful ideas ever been brought to full fruit.

In essence, “G3” accused Galileo of undermining the doctrine of transubstantiation by his atomic theory expounded in The Assayer.
Moreover it seems that the Jesuits deliberately betrayed Galileo in such a way that their hand would not be seen, as indeed it might not have been but for the researchers of Redondi.  
Although Galileo prepared his reply in secret, the Jesuit spy network is soon alerted to the fact that The Assayer (The Fine Balance to weigh gold) was on the stocks.
