About these units
Pennyweight (pwt)
The pennyweight, equal to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.55517384 grams, is a unit used primarily in the precious metals and jewelry industries. Its origins lie in medieval English coinage, when the weight of silver pennies provided a practical standard for small masses. Jewelers continue to use the pennyweight because many traditional pricing structures and metalworking conventions are built around troy-based subdivisions. For gold, silver, and dental alloys, the pennyweight remains easier to work with than grams due to long-established norms. Even though the metric system is now dominant scientifically, the pennyweight persists because industries tied to history—especially those involving money and precious goods—tend to maintain deeply rooted practices.
Quarter (UK) (qr (UK))
The UK quarter, equal to 28 pounds, corresponds to 1/4 of a UK hundredweight. Historically used in grain trade, wool markets, and taxation, it reflects the older English approach to structuring weights around the stone. Its direct link to the long hundredweight made it easy for merchants to calculate loads and price goods. While obsolete today, the UK quarter remains important for historians reconstructing traditional British commerce and agricultural economies.
