Best Answer
The troy ounceThe troy ounce is heavier than the typical grocery store (avoirdupois) ounce used in the USA. When you purchase a 1 ounce silver or gold coin, you are receiving a "troy" ounce. If you put that same 1 troy oz. coin on a grocery store scale you will find that it weighs about 10% more than the food ounce you are familiar with. It will weigh about 1.1 avoirdupois ounces. Source: http://lynncoins.com/troy_ounce.htm

one ounce = 0.911458333 troy ounce

one troy ounce = 1.09714286 ounces

To confuse you a little more, while there are 16 avoirdupois ounces in one pound, there are only 12 troy ounces in a troy pound. So a troy ounce is heavier than an ounce but a troy pound is lighter than a pound.
A troy ounce is a measure of weight for precious metals, large 31.1034768 grams. Conversely, there is approximately 32 troy ounces in a kilogram.

The weight is one twelfth of the troy pound.

The name 'troy' comes from the French city of Troyes, once an important trading town.
