While it is true that there are 12 troy ounces in 1 troy pound, a troy pound does not equal an avoirdupois pound, this might be something to consider, depending on why you are asking the question. The link below has more information.

1. Twelve Troy ounces = one Troy pound, but the Troy pound is hardly ever used nowadays.
3. One Troy ounce = 480 grains, so one regular pound = 7000 grains = 14 7/12 Troy ounces.

In troy weight, there are 12 ounces in a pound, rather than 16 as in the more common avoirdupois system.
