A repunze is a stamp on metal objects, mostly to certify the precious metal content that is added to an existing stamp.

The word comes from the repeated hallmarking of the respective object, which was provided by law in certain contexts.

In Austria, re-punching can also denote a repeated hallmarking, which does not have to have anything to do with the fineness, but serves as evidence that an object has been subjected to a certain official procedure (e.g. replacement of the silver value to avoid melting) . The first official repunching was introduced in Austria on September 1st, 1806 . At that time a tax was passed on all gold and silver objects . The repunze was regarded as confirmation of receipt for the tax paid (value transfer) of the precious metal devices in private or church property and did not mean any statement about their fineness.

In Germany there is no certified hallmarking by state authorities. The seller is responsible for the accuracy of the fineness . Here the stamping of gold and silver is regulated by the law on the fineness of gold and silver goods of July 16, 1884, last amended by Article 9 of the law of April 25, 2007.
