Understanding Tola and Stone

Tola

The tola is a traditional unit of mass used across the Indian subcontinent for precious metals and spices. One tola is exactly 11.6638 grams (internationally standardised). In the Indian system: 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti. It remains the standard gold-trading unit quoted by jewellers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and across Gulf markets that serve South Asian buyers.

Stone (st)

The stone (st) is a British imperial unit of mass equal to exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds or 6.35029318 kilograms. Used almost exclusively in the United Kingdom and Ireland for human body weight, it has no role in scientific, commercial, or international contexts. The stone is not an SI unit and was removed from official UK trade measurement in 1985, though it remains deeply embedded in everyday British culture.

History of the Tola

The tola derives from Sanskrit tola, from tul (to weigh, to balance). It was the official precious-metal unit under British India, defined as the mass of the silver rupee coin (~11.66 g). Indian rupees were minted to exactly 1 tola weight. After independence, India officially adopted the metric system in 1956 for gold trading, but the tola survived in the market. The UAE, a major gold trading hub, still quotes prices per tola.

Interesting fact: India is one of the world's largest gold consumers. A tola bar of 24-karat gold (≈11.66 g, worth ~$700 at 2024 gold prices) is one of the most popular physical gold investment formats in South Asia.

History of the Stone

One of the oldest English weight units, the stone was referenced as early as the 13th century. Historically its value varied by commodity (8 lb for meat, 12 lb for hemp, 14 lb for wool, 16 lb for glass). King Edward III standardised the wool stone at 14 pounds in 1350, which became the universal English standard. The Weights and Measures Act 1835 formally defined the stone as 14 lb. EU harmonisation abolished the stone for trade in 1985.

Interesting fact: The world record heaviest person weighed 635 kg — exactly 100 stone, illustrating how the stone unit provides digestible reference points for large body weights. British people typically express their weight as, for example, "11 stone 4 pounds."
