What is a Troy Ounce? Palladium weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The troy ounce (31.1035 g) is the settlement unit of the London and COMEX markets, so it is the number every other quote is derived from. One troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams, or 1.00000 troy ounces, which at today's palladium spot price works out to — CAD.
Where it is used. Bullion bars and coins are struck in 1 oz, 10 oz and 100 oz sizes, and dealer spreads are quoted as a premium over the ounce spot price. The unit is the trading standard in global wholesale markets.
Pricing conventions. Because the ounce is the contract unit, it carries the tightest spread of any weight: retail premiums on a 1 oz coin typically run a few percent, while a 400 oz good-delivery bar trades near spot. Palladium is almost entirely an industrial metal, so a retail quote in this unit is a conversion from the ounce price rather than a rate you will see posted in a shop.
Good to know. The troy ounce is heavier than the everyday avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) — a mix-up of roughly 10% that still catches out first-time buyers.

Buying Palladium in Canada: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per troy ounce, the price you see here is the international XPD spot price converted into Canadian Dollar. Physical buyers in Canada pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Toronto and the Royal Canadian Mint distribution network. Buyers there generally watch the LBMA price converted at the Bank of Canada daily rate as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Platinum must be 99.95% to be zero-rated; numismatic and lower-purity items are taxed at the provincial rate. Palladium is dominated by industrial buyers, so retail coins and bars are scarce and premiums move sharply with supply news. That is why the shop price of palladium in CAD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same troy ounce of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Canada are Royal Canadian Mint, bank-linked bullion desks, online dealers and TSX-listed metal trusts. The products most often quoted locally include Gold Maple Leaf, Silver Maple Leaf, RCM 1 kg bars, Maplegram sheets.
Local conventions. The Maple Leaf is struck at 99.99% fineness, one of the purest mass-market bullion coins available. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per troy ounce with the live palladium 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 CAD quote.
