What is a Troy Ounce of Gold?

A troy ounce of gold is a standard system of weight measurement that dates to medieval times and is based on pounds and ounces. One troy ounce is equivalent to 32.151 grams in the metric system of grams and kilograms.

In the UK, there is another system of pounds and ounce measurement called the avoirdupois system whereby one avoirdupois ounce is 28.35 grams. In Anglo-Norman, French avoirdupois means ‘goods of weight’. Other systems exist around the world.

For precious metals, the troy ounce, though a little heavier than avoirdupois, is the standard measurement in the US and UK and is still used in modern times.

Is the gold price up or down?

The gold price experiences a certain level of fluctuation day-to-day, as well as year-on-year.
