Gold's headline price is always quoted per troy ounce — a unit of 31.1035 grams used exclusively for precious metals (heavier than the 28.35-gram avoirdupois ounce used for groceries). The live per-ounce price above is the global XAU/USD spot rate.

One ounce is also the standard weight for the world's most traded gold coins, including the American Gold Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf and South African Krugerrand, which is why dealers price premiums 'per ounce over spot'.
