Commonly used size/quantity of Gold

Gold is right now the most sought after commodity and darling amongst the traders. This yellow Precious Metal is handled in different size/quantity and I've listed a few commonly used units of size of Gold:

• Gram(s)
  
• 1 Sovereign (பவுண் in Tamil) = 8 Grams
• 1 Ounce(Oz) = 28 (approx.) Grams
  
• Troy ounce
• Gold Bar
• Chip Gold

Below are the units used previously in India:

• 1 Tholam (தொலாம் in Tamil) = 12 grams
• Varaham
  

Btw, refer my last post about Purity of Gold.
