An ounce is a unit of mass, used mainly in the United States and the United Kingdom and represents both the usual United States ounce and the British imperial ounce and is equivalent to 28.3 grams. During the time of Queen Elizabeth, the pound (1 pound equals 16 ounces) was redefined as 7,000 troy grains. Something that created even more confusion was that in the past there were more measures of ounces such as Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian (Roman), Dutch, Chinese, English tower, apothecary and Maria Teresa ounce, some close to each other, but others with a really big weight difference.
