Why the Troy Ounce Is the Standard
Every spot price quote, market chart, and dealer listing for gold worldwide is denominated in troy ounces, not grams. When someone references the gold price without specifying a unit, they mean the price per troy ounce. Buying the 1 ounce bar directly is the simplest way to hold a size that maps one-to-one onto the number you see quoted in gold price coverage, without doing a gram conversion.
It is also the most commonly resold and most liquid bar size in the secondary market, since dealers and buyers alike are most familiar pricing and verifying this exact weight.
