We show a gold tael bar issued by the "Hongkong Bank", which we believe is the same as the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, nowadays better known in the UK as HSBC Bank.
Taels The tael is an ancient Chinese unit of weight. Unfortunately, like many old weight systems, the weight of the tael was not absolutely standard, but varied slightly from one place to another, but it can be generally reckoned as about 37.5 grams, 1.2 troy ounces, or 1.3333 avoirdupois ounces.
Gold Tael Bars
Gold tael bars are known to have been made in denominations of 1/2, 1, 2, 5, and 10 taels, but many other multiples and fractions were almost certain to have been made.This is th first and only example of the one tael bar pictured.
This bars has its weight shown as 37.427 grams, and to be 999.9 parts per thousand fine gold.
We will not attempt to read or translate the Chinese symbols on the reverse, but we assume they repeat the information shown in English on the front of the bar.
