History of the Troy Ounce and Ounce

The troy weight system likely originated in Troyes, France, a major trading town in the Middle Ages. It became a standard in England for precious metals and coinage. Unlike the more common avoirdupois ounce (approx. 28.35 g), the troy ounce persists in the precious metals market.

The term "ounce" derives from the Roman "uncia", which was one-twelfth of the Roman pound. Its value varied throughout history and regions. The avoirdupois ounce became standardized in the English-speaking world for general trade.
