Of at least five previous English pounds only one, the avoirdupois pound (454 g), is still in general use and one, the troy pound (373 g), is mostly used in its subdivision, the ounce. There was also a trone pound in Scotland, equal to 21 to 28 oz avoirdupois. Furthermore a metrified or metric pound of half a kilogram is used informally in some places and was once official in some countries.
