[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 236471, member: 360"]Hey folks, I have researched this as best as I can, but I'm still curious about stuff, so I thought I'd ask here. European silver was once graded by loths. 16 down to 10, 100% purity, down to about 65% purity. I have three questions: 1. What does loth, or lothige (which I believe is the full word), translate to? What does it mean? Where does it come from? 2. Which countries used the loth system? 3. When did it start and finish? Hope someone can help! Thanks![/QUOTE]
