High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The tola, also transliterated as tolah or tole, is a traditional South Asian unit of mass, now standardised as 180 troy grains (11.663?8038 grams). It was the base unit of mass in the British Indian system of weights and measures introduced in 1833, although it had been in use for much longer. It was also used in Aden and Zanzibar: in the latter, one tola was equivalent to 11.398 grams (0.9772 British tolas, 175.90 troy grains). The tola is a Vedic measure, with the name derived from the Sanskrit tol meaning "weighing" or "weight". One tola was traditionally the weight of 100 tola seeds,[citation needed] and its exact weight varied according to locality. However, it is also a convenient mass for a coin: several pre-colonial coins, including the currency of Akbar the Great (1556–1605), had a mass of "one tola" within slight variation.
