What is a metric quintal (cwt)?

A metric quintal, also called a metric centner, is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms used mainly for bulk agricultural weights.

What does the didrachma represent?

The didrachma is an ancient Greek coin and weight equivalent to two drachmae, used historically as a monetary and silver weight unit.

Why are the conversions approximate?

Because the didrachma's mass and silver content differed by time and location, conversions provide estimated equivalences rather than exact values.
