The Weight of a Silver Piece?

Hi,
Rules of High Living take care of the hordes snagged by my players, but a very serious question was raised by a "Light-footed" thief.

How much does a silver piece weigh?

In my game, coins from different lands weigh different amounts based on purity, slivering of the edges, etc. But for a standardization perspective, we've agreed that two Brythunian coins might have the weight-value of a single Acheronian coin.
I've basically house ruled it at 25 coins (in value) to a pound.
This way, the thief with a 20 lb maximum for light-foot can carry only about 300 silver pieces plus equipment (rope, swords, torches, lockpicks, etc.).
I wanted to see if there was a codified bit that I'd missed, or conventional wisdom to suggest something more realistic.

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
