Tolas are a traditional Indian unit of weight used in precious metal refining throughout the Indian Subcontinent and surrounding regions of the world. Tola is a Hindi word derived from the Sanskrit word “tula,” and is defined in that language as a balance, scale, or weight. Tolas weren’t introduced to the Western world until England’s East India Company in 1836.
For more than 50 years, small 10 Tola Gold Bars have been a popular production unit in India. Though the nation itself has moved away from the old tola, which equates to .375 Troy oz, to the metric system, tola bars are still widely available in India and throughout the subcontinent and Middle East.
On the obverse of each of these 3.75 oz Credit Suisse 10 Tolas Gold Bars you’ll find the stamped markings that identify the bar. At the top of each bar is an oval with Credit Suisse stamped around the outer rim of the design, and the purity of .999 gold in the center. Below this stamp is the weight of the bar in tolas (10 Tolas), and at the very bottom is an assayer’s mark.
The reverse of each of these gold bars is purposefully left blank. For these particular gold bars from Credit Suisse, the production method was a hand-poured approach that leaves a rough, matte finish to the blank reverse side of the bar. The obverse has a slightly rounded appearance and all engravings stamped into the surface of the bar.
Credit Suisse is a leading precious metals bullion producer, and all of its products are backed by the Credit Suisse Bank of Switzerland. Its logo is internationally recognized as a symbol of purity and quality.
