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 Scruples
A scruple (s ap) is a unit of the apothecary weight system equal to 20 grains or approximately 1.296 grams. Derived from the Latin 'scrupulus' (a small sharp stone used as a counterweight), it was the basic dispensing unit in pre-metric pharmacy across Europe. The apothecary system divided the fluid ounce into 8 drams, each dram into 3 scruples, and each scruple into 20 grains - a hierarchy memorised by every 19th-century pharmacist.
