What is an Ounce of Gold?

L’once est une unité de mesure de masse qui était en usage avant l’invention du système métrique. Elle désigne une unité de mesure approximative, située entre 24 et 33 grammes selon les pays.
En revanche, l’once d’or Troy est une unité de mesure exacte cotée sur les marchés de l’or, notamment sur le London Bullion Market (LBM). Même si dans le langage courant on ne mentionne plus le terme « Troy », c’est bien l’Once Troy que l’on utilise pour tous les prix, cotations, cours des métaux précieux, l’achat et la vente d’or. Bien que les monnaies ne soient plus cotées par rapport à l’or depuis 1971, ce dernier reste, aux yeux de beaucoup d’épargnants, une valeur refuge.

Le terme « once » vient de « uncia » en latin. Au temps de l’Empire romain, l’once romaine était égale au douzième de la livre romaine, et équivaut aujourd’hui à 27,264 g.
En France, l’once était égale au seizième de la livre de Paris, et valait 30,594 g avant l’adoption du Système métrique en 1794.
L’once avoirdupois, utilisé dans les nations du Commonwealth et par les États-Unis d’Amérique, est égale au seizième de la livre avoirdupois et vaut 28,349 523 125 g.

The name Troy comes from the city of Troyes. It was used there in the Middle Ages on the days of fairs and large markets.
The Troy ounce was officially adopted in England in 1527 for gold and silver, and later extended to the weights and quotations of precious metals more generally.

For example, it is possible to buy one-ounce or 10-ounce bars (i.e. 311 grams of gold). Conversely, it is also possible to find 400-ounce bars, or 12.441 kilos of gold, known as gold bars.
