What is a Tael (Hong Kong)? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The Hong Kong tael (37.429 g, 1.20337 troy ounces) is the contract unit of the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society. Locally it is written 司馬両. One tael (hong kong) equals 37.429 grams, or 1.20337 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — AUD.
Where it is used. Hong Kong dealers quote loco-HK gold in taels, and 5-tael cast bars are the classic regional investment format. The unit is the trading standard in Hong Kong.
Pricing conventions. The local tael quote can trade at a small premium or discount to the London ounce price, and that spread is watched as an indicator of mainland Chinese demand. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. Hong Kong jewellery is also sold in 'chi' and 'fan' — one tenth and one hundredth of a tael respectively.

Buying Platinum in Australia: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per tael (hong kong), the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Australian Dollar. Physical buyers in Australia pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Perth, home of the government-guaranteed Perth Mint. Buyers there generally watch the Perth Mint spot feed in AUD per ounce as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver must be 99.9% and platinum 99% to be GST-free; anything below those thresholds, including jewellery, attracts 10% GST. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in AUD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same tael (hong kong) of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Australia are Perth Mint depository, ABC Bullion and other national dealers, online dealers and ASX-listed metal ETFs. The products most often quoted locally include Perth Mint Kangaroo, Lunar series coins, 1 kg silver bars, unallocated depository accounts.
Local conventions. The Perth Mint's depository programme lets buyers hold allocated or unallocated metal without taking delivery. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per tael (hong kong) with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline AUD quote.
