Definition: Of, or relating to, troy weight.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
You’ve asked about “troy,” and the dictionary’s right, it’s quite a sight.
“Of, or relating to, troy weight” – that's its core decree!
But what
is
this "troy" you see? Let's break it down with glee!
You see, when we measure precious things like gold and silver bright,
We use a special system, shining pure and light.
Troy weight is different than just a simple pound,
It’s measured by its
mass
, safe and sound!
Think of it this way: no matter where you roam,
A troy ounce will always be the same at home.
Unlike our customary ounces, which can vary quite a bit,
Troy weight sticks to numbers, perfectly fit!
It’s used for jewelry, coins, and precious metals grand,
A standard measurement across the land.
So "troy" means
mass
, a consistent way to weigh,
To measure value truly, come what may!
Do you have any questions about this weight we've found?
