🕌 The Peshawar tola — 12.15 g
Pakistan's official tola is 11.664 g, used by the Rawalpindi/Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi sarafa markets. Peshawar's sarafa market, however, traditionally trades gold on a heavier 12.15 g tola. That makes a Peshawar 'per tola' gold quote cover about 4.2% more metal — so a higher Peshawar figure does not necessarily mean more expensive gold. Convert both quotes to per-gram before comparing. (Silver uses the standard 11.664 g tola in all cities.)
❓ Tola & Gram — Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams are in 1 tola of gold?
1 tola = 11.664 grams. This is the standard used by Pakistan's sarafa markets (Rawalpindi/Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi), jewellers and this website. To convert: grams = tola × 11.664, and tola = grams ÷ 11.664.
Why is the Peshawar tola different?
Peshawar's sarafa market traditionally trades gold on a heavier local tola of 12.15 grams, while Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi use 11.664 g. A 'per tola' quote from Peshawar therefore covers about 4% more gold — always confirm which tola a quote uses before comparing city rates.
How many tolas are in an ounce (and a kilogram)?
1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g = about 2.667 tola. 1 kilogram = 1000 g = about 85.73 tola. International gold prices are quoted per troy ounce, which is why the tola rate moves with the USD/oz price.
What is a masha?
A masha is the traditional sub-unit of the tola: 1 tola = 12 masha, so 1 masha = 0.972 g. Older jewellers still quote small weights (rings, nose pins) in masha and ratti.
