Everything about Mark Mass totally explained
The
mark was originally a unit of
mass for
gold and
silver common throughout
western Europe, and was equal to 8
troy ounces (249 g). Variations throughout the
Middle Ages were, however, considerable.
Later, the weight called "mark" was generally half-a-pound. Like the
German systems, also the
French poid du marc weight system consider one "marc" equal half-a-pound or 8 ounces.
Like the
pound of 12 troy ounces (373 g), the mark was also used as a unit of currency, for example in many
Shakespearean plays set in medieval
England, and in various incarnations in
Germany and
Finland until the adoption of the
euro in 1999.
A "mark" could also be an object weighing more than 1,000 pounds.
