Silver Tola Pricing in Context
Like gold, silver in Pakistan is still commonly quoted by tola (11.6638 g) at Sarafa Bazaars nationwide, even though international silver benchmarks (including the XAG/USD spot price) are quoted per troy ounce. Because silver's per-unit value is far lower than gold's, small differences in the exchange rate or international price move the local silver-per-tola figure by a smaller absolute rupee amount, even though the percentage move can be similar or larger than gold's.

Why does silver's per-tola price look so much lower than gold's?
Silver is inherently a lower-value-per-gram metal than gold — this reflects genuine market pricing, not a discount or lower-quality product.
Is silver tola pricing consistent nationwide like gold?
Broadly yes, silver follows the same national Sarafa Association-linked benchmark, with only minor city-to-city variance similar to gold.
Silver Tola Rate and Household Items
Beyond jewellery, silver by the tola is also commonly used for traditional items such as coins, small decorative pieces, and utensils in Pakistani households, which is why the per-tola figure remains a practical everyday reference alongside the per-gram rate.
