What is a Pennyweight? Gold weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The pennyweight (1.55517 g, one twentieth of a troy ounce) is the unit American jewellers and scrap buyers still quote in. One pennyweight equals 1.55517 grams, or 0.05000 troy ounces, which at today's gold spot price works out to — NOK.
Where it is used. Repair work, casting weights and scrap gold offers in the US are almost always priced per pennyweight rather than per gram. The unit is the trading standard in United States jewellery trade.
Pricing conventions. A scrap buyer quoting per dwt is quoting on a unit roughly 1.5 times a gram, so always convert before comparing with an online per-gram offer. Gold is the metal most often traded in these traditional units, because jewellery and savings demand kept the old weights alive long after industry went metric.
Good to know. The name survives from the medieval English penny, which literally weighed one pennyweight of silver.

Buying Gold in Norway: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per pennyweight, the price you see here is the international XAU spot price converted into Norwegian Krone. Physical buyers in Norway pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Oslo, with dealers importing from continental Europe. Buyers there generally watch the LBMA price converted at the Norges Bank daily rate as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Investment gold is exempt from Norwegian VAT when it meets the standard fineness and form requirements. Gold is the deepest of the four precious metals markets, so local retail spreads are usually the tightest and buy-back is easiest. That is why the shop price of gold in NOK can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same pennyweight of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Norway are Norwegian bullion dealers, European online dealers with insured shipping, bank deposit boxes and ETCs. The products most often quoted locally include 1 oz bullion coins, 100 g bars, vaulted allocated grams.
Local conventions. Because Norway is outside the EU customs union, imports need customs declaration even when the metal itself is VAT-free. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per pennyweight with the live gold price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline NOK quote.
