What is a Troy Ounce? Silver 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 silver spot price works out to — TRY.
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. Silver is bulkier per unit of value, so quotes in small traditional units are usually a conversion, while real trade happens in kilogram and 1 000 oz bars.
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 Silver in Turkey: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per troy ounce, the price you see here is the international XAG spot price converted into Turkish Lira. Physical buyers in Turkey pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Istanbul's Grand Bazaar and Borsa Istanbul. Buyers there generally watch the Borsa Istanbul gram gold price in lira as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium carry VAT in most retail formats and see far less demand. Silver is bulkier and cheaper per unit, so shipping, storage and consumption taxes matter far more to the final price than they do for gold. That is why the shop price of silver in TRY can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same troy ounce of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Turkey are Kapalıçarşı jewellers, bank gold accounts, Borsa Istanbul Precious Metals Market and gold-linked deposit products. The products most often quoted locally include Cumhuriyet Altını, Çeyrek (quarter) coins, gram gold bars, 22K bilezik bangles.
Local conventions. Turks buy standardised coins by name - çeyrek, yarım, tam - and 22K bangles, with lira weakness driving persistent physical demand. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per troy ounce with the live silver 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 TRY quote.
