It is an exact copy of the international prototype kilogram kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (Bureau International des Poids et Measures) in Sevres, France It was one of 40 copies which were presented by France in 1884 to different nations as national standards. This copy, K4, serves as a secondary comparison standard, while its twin, K20, serves as the primary standard. In 1884, it differed in mass from the prototype kilogram by about 75 micrograms.
