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.
About Grains
A grain (gr) is the smallest unit in both the avoirdupois and troy weight systems, equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams. Originally defined as the mass of a single grain of barley or wheat from the middle of an ear, it has been a standard of weight since ancient times. Today, grains are used to weigh gunpowder charges and bullets (a standard .308 rifle bullet weighs 168 gr), pharmaceutical preparations in apothecary compounding, and the fineness of gold alloys. Arrowhead and fishing hook weights are also specified in grains.
