Precious metal is always weighed in “troy” ounces

Troy ounces (ozt) = 31.1 grams

12 troy ounces = 1 troy pound

A troy pound is about 373.2 grams while an avoirdupois pound is about 453 grams

Different pounds, different ounces

The pound used for most domestic and industrial purposes is the Avoirdupois with 16 ounces to a pound. That is the one used in recipes and such.

Troy weight was used for gold and precious metals, and in that system of units the pound had 12 ounces.

16. That’s like asking “Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?”
