Pennyweight

What is a pennyweight?

The pennyweight (dwt) equals one-twentieth of a troy ounce, 24 grains (about 1.555 g).

Origin of the pennyweight

From the mass of a medieval English silver penny; symbol dwt from 'denarius weight'.

Where it is used

Jewelry making and precious-metal scrap valuation in the US.

When and where it was developed

Derived from the medieval English coinage system.

Biblical / Ancient

Lepton (Biblical Roman)

What is a lepton (biblical roman)?

The lepton was the smallest coin of New Testament times, about 0.03 gram in this scale.

Origin of the lepton (biblical roman)

From Greek 'lepton', meaning small or thin.

Where it is used

Biblical references to the smallest possible sums.

When and where it was developed

The lowest-value coin in circulation in first-century Judea.
