One troy pound equals exactly 0.822857 avoirdupois pounds (or 8.229 avoirdupois ounces). Conversely, 1 avoirdupois pound equals 1.215278 troy pounds. This 21.5% difference is crucial in precious metals trading. For example, a 500 troy pound shipment of silver equals 411.43 avoirdupois pounds. Always use the precise conversion factor 0.822857 for financial transactions, not approximations like 0.8 or 0.82.

Troy measurements originated in medieval Europe for precious metals and gemstones, where precision and standardization were critical for high-value transactions. The troy system's 12-ounce pound (vs avoirdupois's 16 ounces) provides finer granularity for small quantities of expensive materials. London Bullion Market Association, New York COMEX, and Shanghai Gold Exchange all standardize on troy measurements. This historical system persists because international precious metals contracts, derivatives, and price quotations are all denominated in troy ounces and troy pounds, making conversion necessary only when interfacing with general-commerce systems.
