Pennyweight
The pennyweight (pwt) is a unit of weight traditionally used in measuring precious metals and gemstones, equivalent to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.555 grams.
History/Origin
Originating in the medieval period, the pennyweight was used in the troy weight system for weighing gold and silver, especially in the jewelry and precious metals industries. Its use has persisted in certain regions and industries for historical and practical reasons.
Current Use
Today, the pennyweight is primarily used in the jewelry trade and precious metals markets to specify weights of gold, silver, and gemstones, especially in the United States and in contexts where precise measurement of small quantities is required.
Lepton (Biblical Roman)
A lepton is a small, lightweight unit of weight used in the Biblical Roman system, historically representing a very small amount of mass.
History/Origin
The lepton originated in ancient Roman and biblical contexts as a minimal unit of weight, often used in religious and commercial transactions to denote small quantities. Its usage has declined with the advent of modern measurement systems.
Current Use
Today, the lepton is primarily of historical and academic interest, with limited practical application in contemporary measurement systems or conversions.
