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
