It depends what the metal is, troy ounces are units of measurements like inches, grams, tons, etc. Usually precious metals are given in troy ounces but without knowing which metal you are talking about, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc. it is impossible to state the price.
A troy ounce is equivalent to 31.1035 grams. On the other hand, "100 mills" typically refers to a method of plating, where a base metal is coated with a thin layer of precious metal. It does not refer to weight.
