About the tola
The tola is a traditional unit for weighing gold in South Asia. It is 180 grains, and the grain is defined in UK law as 1/7000 of a pound, which makes a tola 11.6638 g.
Much gold jewellery from South Asia is 22 carat, hallmarked 916 when tested in the UK. The figures here are the value of the pure metal at today's spot price. Anyone who buys your gold has to melt and refine it and make a margin, so their offer will be below this. Offers vary between buyers, which is why it's worth getting more than one quote and comparing them with the offer checker.
