I find it interesting that each coin weighs over 28 grams. There are 31.1 grams in a troy ounce of silver though. I wonder why they did that? Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 2:44 pm I was wondering why the silver coins weigh 28.3 grams and not 31.1, since 31.1 is a troy ounce of silver. Normally silver rounds are a troy ounce of silver. Report this Post to the Staff
vb3347 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 3:21 pm I think it has something to do with the fact that Great Britain crowns always weighed 28.28 grams. Therefore, the crown-size coins of the Commonwealth nations are still made to weigh the same. Just my guess, I am no expert. Report this Post to the Staff
