The pound-troy, often simply termed as troy pound, is a unit of mass used in the troy weights system. It is traditionally used for precious metals like gold, silver, and gemstones. One pound-troy is equivalent to approximately 373.24 grams. This measurement is different from the avoirdupois pound used in the United States for general goods, which is about 453.59 grams.
