<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aznathalie, post: 4322839, member: 20012&quot;]56.</p><p>This brand of sample is called spool, when the weight of the parts is determined not in grams (not in metric units), but in English pounds (approximately 300 grams). One gold standard unit is 1/96 lb. Thus, a fineness of 56 means that there are 56 parts of pure gold for 96 parts. This system was introduced by Peter the Great (he tried to bring Russia closer to European standards), and was replaced in 1927 by the international metric system of measures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
