How many grams is 1 cup of gold?

A cup of gold is used to refer to a small amount of gold, so it is rarely mentioned. In reality, a cup of gold will have a mass equal to 1/10 of a gold coin.

According to conversion:

1 cup of gold = 1/10 of a gold coin = 1/10 x 0.375 grams = 0.0375 grams.

Thus, the gold cup is a fairly small unit of gold mass. Very few small gold objects and jewelry are measured in cups.
