Units explained
Mace
The mace equals one-tenth of a tael, about 3.78 grams.
From the Chinese 'qian'; 'mace' is the European trade name.
Chinese and Southeast Asian gold and traditional-medicine trade.
Part of the traditional Chinese tael system.
Decigram
A decigram (dg) equals 0.0001 kilogram, or 0.1 gram.
From the SI prefix 'deci-' (from Latin 'decimus', tenth).
Occasional laboratory and pharmacy use.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.

100 × 37.79936 = 3779.936 dg
Real-world example — Adjacent small-scale precision
One mace equals 1,000 decigrams — the standard sub-millimeter precision conversion that materials engineers use whenever they switch between bulk material thickness specs (larger unit) and surface-finish characteristics (smaller unit).
1 mace × 37.79936 = 37.79936 dg
Real-world example — Adjacent metric sub-units
One mace equals 1,000 decigrams. Engineers move between these scales constantly: PCB feature sizes in the larger unit, wire-bond diameters in the smaller.
1 mace × 37.79936 = 37.79936 dg
