What is a tola of gold?

The South Asian weight unit behind Nepal jewellery prices.

3 min read · Metals

A tola is a traditional weight used across South Asia for gold and silver. In Nepal, jewellery conversations almost always start with “price per tola,” not per gram.

One tola is about 11.66 grams. To compare with international troy-ounce prices, convert weight first, then currency (NPR ↔ USD).
