It is a measurement system used mainly for Coins and precious metals. 20DWT or (pennyweights) make one ounce- Troy. The Troy ounce is different than the conventional (l6 to the pound) ounce of everyday commerce- but it IS everyday commerce in the pawn shop and coin dealers. sometimes DWT, is by false analogy, called Deadweight, which means empty weight- say of a truck without any payload or fuel.
