Troy ounce vs ounce — why it matters for gold
Precious metals are weighed in troy ounces (31.1035 g), not the everyday avoirdupois ounce (28.3495 g) used for groceries. Mixing them up overstates a gold weight by about 10%. Because the South-Asian tola was fixed at 180 troy grains and a troy ounce is 480 grains, 1 tola = 3/8 troy ounce = 0.375 oz t exactly — a clean ratio bullion desks rely on.
