About Quarters
A quarter (qr) in the avoirdupois system equals 28 pounds or one quarter of a hundredweight - approximately 12.70 kg. Historically, quarters were used in British trade for measuring grain, wool, and other bulk commodities. The British quarter of grain (28 lb) was the standard purchase quantity at markets and mills throughout medieval and early modern England. In the US, the term 'quarter' sometimes refers to a quarter of a short hundredweight (25 lb) rather than the British 28 lb.
About Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
