Best Answer

A pound of gold weighs 14.583 troy ounces. This answer is correct only if you mean an avoirdupois pound. A troy pound (used for precious metals) is 12 troy ounces. If you ask how many troy ounces are in a pound, you would normally mean a troy pound unless you specify another type of measure - there are several different difinitions for the measure "pound".
