[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9723151, member: 84680"]P.S. I was first wondering if deniers were like the lots or loths (löthige) used in German speaking countries, i.e. 1/16th parts. That led to another interesting discovery — which actually doesn’t really matter re silver purity— but the actual weight of the loth varied from 14 grams to 18 grams in different German countries. Thank goodness for the French revolution and the metric system! Otherwise one might think a 13 loth candlestick might be much higher grade silver than a 11.5. denier one.[/QUOTE]
