An ounce is a common unit of measurement for gold, but what does it actually mean? How much does an ounce weigh, and how does it affect the value of gold? Here’s the answer!

What Is One Ounce of Gold?

One ounce of gold refers to a troy ounce (troy oz), the international standard for weighing precious metals like gold and silver.

A troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams, which differs from the more commonly used avoirdupois ounce, which weighs approximately 28.35 grams.
