What is a Kob in Weight or Mass?

Kob is a unit of weight or mass, equal to 100,000 grams or 220 pounds. It is commonly used in the context of precious metals and stones, where it is defined as 100,000 grams of pure gold or other precious metal. The term "kob" is derived from the Persian word for "stone," and it is still widely used in many countries, particularly in the Middle East and Central Asia.

For example, if a diamond weighs 1 kob, it means that it weighs 100,000 grams or 220 pounds. This unit of measurement is often used in the jewelry industry to describe the weight of precious stones, as it is more convenient and easier to understand than using metric units like grams or kilograms.
