About Troy Ounces
The troy ounce (ozt or oz t) is the global standard for weighing and pricing precious metals - gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Equal to 31.1034768 grams (about 10% heavier than the avoirdupois ounce), it originates from the medieval fair at Troyes, France, where a standardised weight system facilitated international trade. All gold spot prices quoted on financial markets (LBMA, COMEX, MCX) are priced per troy ounce. A standard 'Good Delivery' gold bar approved by the London Bullion Market Association weighs approximately 400 troy ounces (12.4 kg).
About Troy Pounds
A troy pound (lb t) equals 12 troy ounces or 5,760 grains - approximately 373.24 grams. It is lighter than the common avoirdupois pound (453.59 g) because the troy system divides the pound into 12 ounces rather than 16. Historically used across Europe for trade in precious metals and pharmaceuticals, the troy pound was the legal standard in England from the 15th century until 1878. In the United States, the troy pound was once the official standard for coinage but was abolished for commercial use in 1828.
