The tola is an old Indian unit of weight with possible sources being Chinese or Mongol. It is still commonly used in the sub-continent and if you go to an Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi owned gold shop, you can still but gold using this measurement.

It's the equivalent of the silver rupee issued by the British East India Company, at 180 grains, which equate to 11.6638038 grams, so:

180 grains = 1 tola
11.66 grams = 1 tola
0.375 troy ounces = 1 tola

A Tola is an ancient measure used in India & South Asia & is still used today.

Most of the world uses the TROY units of weight measure . A TOLA about 3/8ths of a Troy Ounce, or exactly 180 Grains.

TROY WEIGHT:- 1 Pound = 12 Ounces. 1 Ounce = 20 Pennyweight.

1 Pennyweight = 24 Grains

A TROY Pound is approx 10% LESS than an Avoirdupois Pound weight, and the Troy Ounce is not the same weight as a Aviod. Ounce .

The TOLA is an ancient unit used in India and South Asia, introduced in 1883.

It has been standardised and is officially 180 Grains=1 Tola. Although the Tola has officially been replaced by the Metric unit in 1956, it is still used in Asia today.

Bars of Gold weighing 10 Tola are commonly traded today
