In the world of precious metals, understanding the terminology is crucial to making informed investment decisions. One of the most important units of measurement you’ll come across is the troy ounce. At BULLIONMARK, we're here to help you navigate these terms with ease and confidence, ensuring you get the most out of every ounce.

The Troy Ounce Explained

A troy ounce is a unit of weight used specifically for precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Unlike the regular ounce you might use in everyday life, the troy ounce has a unique historical origin and is slightly heavier.

How Much is a Troy Ounce?

One troy ounce is equal to approximately 31.1035 grams. In contrast, a standard ounce (known as an avoirdupois ounce) weighs about 28.3495 grams. This means that a troy ounce is about 10% heavier than a regular ounce. This difference might seem small, but it’s significant when dealing with precious metals where every gram counts.

Why Use the Troy Ounce?

The troy ounce has been the standard measurement for precious metals since the 1800s, originating from the Roman monetary system. Its consistency and reliability have made it the preferred unit in global markets, ensuring uniformity in trading and valuation.

At BULLIONMARK, we use the troy ounce to measure and price our gold, silver, and other precious metal products. This ensures that you’re getting a precise and consistent measure of value, whether you’re buying bullion bars, coins, or rounds.
