In South Asian countries, particularly Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal, precious metals like gold and silver are traditionally measured using units such as Tola, Masha, and Ratti. These units have been used for centuries in jewelry making and precious metal trading.
A Tola is the most commonly used unit for measuring gold and silver in South Asia. One Tola equals exactly 11.6638038 grams or approximately 0.375 troy ounces. The Tola was historically based on the weight of a silver rupee coin during the British colonial period.
Masha and Ratti are smaller subdivisions of the Tola. One Tola contains 12 Masha, and one Masha equals 8 Ratti. These smaller units are particularly useful when dealing with lightweight jewelry items or gemstones. One Ratti equals approximately 0.1215 grams.
When buying or selling gold and silver, accurate weight conversion is crucial for fair pricing. International markets typically use grams or troy ounces, while local markets in South Asia use Tola. This converter helps bridge that gap, ensuring you get accurate conversions for your precious metal transactions.
It's important to note that precious metals are measured in troy ounces, not regular (avoirdupois) ounces. One troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams, which is heavier than a regular ounce (28.35 grams). This tool uses troy ounces for all conversions.
