Pennyweight

Pennyweight

Pennyweight is a non-SI-compliant unit of mass. It comes from the Anglo-American measuring system, the unit sign is dwt. 1 dwt. = 24 grams = 1.55517384 grams 1 troy pound = 12 oz.tr. = 240 dwt. = 5760 gr. = 373,2417216 Grams 1 Pound Sterling = 12 Shilling = 240 Pence Originally, 240 pounds of silver were minted from a pound of silver. The one-penny coin therefore weighed exactly one pennyweight. The abbreviation dwt resulted from the fact that the abbreviation for Penny was a "d". Pennyweight ist eine nicht SI-konforme Maßeinheit der Masse. Sie stammt aus dem angloamerikanischen Maßsystem, das Einheitenzeichen ist dwt. 1 dwt. = 24 gr. = 1,55517384 Gramm 1 troy pound = 12 oz.tr. = 240 dwt. = 5760 gr. = 373,2417216 Gramm 1 Pound Sterling = 12 Shilling = 240 Pence Ursprünglich wurden aus einem Pfund Silber 240 Penny-Münzen geprägt. Die Ein-Penny-Münze wog deshalb genau ein Pennyweight. Die Abkürzung dwt ergab sich aus der Tatsache, dass die Abkürzung für Penny ein "d" war.
