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.
Milligram
A milligram (mg) equals one-millionth of a kilogram, or 0.001 gram.
From the SI prefix 'milli-' (from Latin 'mille', thousand).
Standard for medicine dosing, nutrition labels, and fine jewelry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 mace to mg:
1 × 3779.936 = 3779.936 mg
Example 2 — Convert 100 mace to mg:
100 × 3779.936 = 377993.6 mg
Real-world example — Adjacent small-scale precision
One mace equals 1,000 milligrams — 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 × 3779.936 = 3779.936 mg
Real-world example — Adjacent metric sub-units
One mace equals 1,000 milligrams. Engineers move between these scales constantly: PCB feature sizes in the larger unit, wire-bond diameters in the smaller.
1 mace × 3779.936 = 3779.936 mg
