GOLD WEIGHS DIFFERENT ?
There are 24 grains in 1 dwt, and 20 dwt in one troy ounce.
Because there were 12 troy ounces in the old troy pound,
there would have been 240 pennyweights ...
1 TROY POUND
How many grams in 1 troy pound? 1 troy pound = 373.2417 grams
TROY WEIGH
110592000 troy blanks, wheat, = 2.3040000 cu.in.
1 merc. cup, = 8 troy oz. wheat, = 18.432000 cu.in.
1 troy pound (lb.) = 12 troy oz. wheat
1 OZ = 20 pennyweight (dwt),
480 grains, or 31.103 grams.
1 dwt = 24 grains or 1.55 grams.
