When did they start using the troy ounce?

The system was adjusted periodically, but troy weights as we know them today were first used in England in the 1400s. By 1527, the troy ounce became the official standard measurement for gold and silver in Britain, and the U.S. finally followed suit in 1828. Today, the troy ounce is the only unit of measure of the troy weights system that we use.
