What is an Onza?

Onza is a unit of weight or mass, typically used in the context of precious metals and gemstones. It is defined as 1/16 of a troy ounce, which is equivalent to 28.349 grams.

The term "onza" is derived from the Spanish word for "ounce," and it is commonly used in Latin America and other parts of the world where Spanish is spoken. In some countries, onza is also used as a unit of weight for other types of goods, such as food or textiles.

It's worth noting that the term "onza" can be confusing, as it is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "troy ounce," which is a slightly larger unit of weight (1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams). However, in most contexts, onza refers to a smaller unit of weight than a troy ounce.
