About Ticals
A tical (also baht or kyat in historical usage) is a traditional Southeast Asian unit of mass, equal to approximately 16.329 grams. It was historically the standard weight for gold and silver trade throughout Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos. In Thailand, the tical is the root of the currency 'baht' - the baht coin was originally defined as the weight of one tical of silver. In Myanmar, the traditional kyat weight system used ticals as a primary unit.
About Pennyweights
A pennyweight (dwt or pwt) equals 24 grains or 1/20 of a troy ounce - approximately 1.555 grams. Its name derives from the weight of an English silver penny in the medieval period. Pennyweights are the standard unit used by jewellers and goldsmiths in North America for weighing precious metals: gold, silver, and platinum. When a jeweller quotes the gold weight of a ring or chain, they typically use pennyweights. Gold buyers, refiners, and scrap metal dealers quote prices per pennyweight (often abbreviated 'DWT') when appraising jewellery.
