About these units
Drachma (Biblical Greek) (drachma)
The drachma, roughly 4.3 grams, served as the principal Greek silver unit for centuries. Both a mass and a monetary unit, the drachma appears extensively in ancient writings, from philosophy to commerce to biblical passages. The term originates from "a handful," linking the weight to early barter practices. Over time, it became a symbol of civic identity—different city-states minted distinct drachmas with unique iconography. Its influence survives in the name of Greece's former national currency, the drachma, reinforcing its cultural legacy.
Pound (Troy) (lb t)
The troy pound, equal to 12 troy ounces or 373.2417216 grams, is used almost exclusively in the precious metals trade. Unlike the avoirdupois pound used for everyday goods (16 ounces), the troy pound is optimized for precious materials such as gold, silver, and platinum. This system's origins trace back to medieval trade fairs in Troyes, France, a major commercial hub. Merchants needed a consistent unit to prevent fraud and facilitate international trading, especially for valuable metals. Today, although rarely encountered by the general public, the troy pound remains fundamental in metals pricing, refining, and numismatics. It provides continuity in a highly traditional economic sector where consistency over centuries is crucial.
