What is a Tael (Taiwan)? Silver weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The Taiwanese tael is 37.5 grams, a metric rounding of the old Chinese tael, and the standard unit in Taiwanese gold shops. Locally it is written 台兩. One tael (taiwan) equals 37.5 grams, or 1.20565 troy ounces, which at today's silver spot price works out to — TRY.
Where it is used. Bank of Taiwan gold passbooks quote per gram, but jewellery and gift bars — especially at weddings and births — are counted in taels. The unit is the trading standard in Taiwan.
Pricing conventions. Taiwanese shops usually price 9999 gold per tael with a fixed workmanship charge and publish a separate buy-back rate that is a few percent below the selling rate. Silver is bulkier per unit of value, so quotes in small traditional units are usually a conversion, while real trade happens in kilogram and 1 000 oz bars.
Good to know. One Taiwanese tael is divided into ten 錢 (qian) of 3.75 g each, which is the same weight as the Japanese momme and the Korean don.

Buying Silver in Turkey: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per tael (taiwan), the price you see here is the international XAG spot price converted into Turkish Lira. Physical buyers in Turkey pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Istanbul's Grand Bazaar and Borsa Istanbul. Buyers there generally watch the Borsa Istanbul gram gold price in lira as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium carry VAT in most retail formats and see far less demand. Silver is bulkier and cheaper per unit, so shipping, storage and consumption taxes matter far more to the final price than they do for gold. That is why the shop price of silver in TRY can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same tael (taiwan) of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Turkey are Kapalıçarşı jewellers, bank gold accounts, Borsa Istanbul Precious Metals Market and gold-linked deposit products. The products most often quoted locally include Cumhuriyet Altını, Çeyrek (quarter) coins, gram gold bars, 22K bilezik bangles.
Local conventions. Turks buy standardised coins by name - çeyrek, yarım, tam - and 22K bangles, with lira weakness driving persistent physical demand. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per tael (taiwan) with the live silver 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 TRY quote.
