What is a ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]?

It is a historical mining mass unit used to define sample sizes for reporting precious-metal content, with its exact mass varying depending on location and practice.

What does tetradrachma (Biblical Greek) represent?

Tetradrachma was a silver coin and mass unit of about 17.2 grams under the Attic standard, used historically in Biblical and ancient Greek contexts.

Why does the conversion between these units vary?

Both units have historically varied by time and region, so their conversion yields approximate values suited to historical or analytical work.

Converting historical assay data to modern and ancient mass units for resource comparison.
Analyzing biblical and ancient Greek economic texts involving silver currency weights.
Authenticating ancient Greek silver coins by comparing measured mass to tetradrachm standards.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the specific definition of the ton (assay) used in your source data due to historical variations.
Use the converter primarily for historical and analytical purposes rather than precise modern weight measurements.
Cross-check conversion results when comparing archaeological or numismatic data from different regions.
Complement this tool with additional research on historical standards for contextual accuracy.
Retain documentation of source definitions when reporting converted values in scholarly works.

Limitations

The ton (assay) (US) mass has varied historically and by jurisdiction, possibly causing ambiguity.
The tetradrachma's weight differed regionally and over time, so values are approximate.
This converter is intended mainly for historical, academic, and analytical use rather than modern standard measurements.
Exact mass equivalencies should be clarified with explicit definitions in original data sources.
